Pleased to announce I’ve made it to 50% of my initial target for 3 months’ safety net.
#34 £3k/£6k 😊

Well done @t@triple_choc_chip - that's fantastic! It's all about baby steps and you only have to do the same again to get to your goal. We are all cheering you on from the side-lines.

Keep on keeping on

#9 currently have £1,400/4,000 saved up, hopefully will not have to withdraw any money within the next month. 

Next pay check will be for 6 weeks so I will be adding a few hundreds to EF. Do not want to be in a position again where I change jobs with very little money put aside.😑

#52 checking in I now have £1300 in housing account and £800 in e fund. I had to spend from my e fund, and am prioritising to put £200 in my housing isa every month, just in case! Any case I now have a total of £2100 in savings and I have money for bills and I have money for groceries this month, and booked a holiday, so all in all not too bad. So that is me on just over 30% of my savings for a 3 month e fund. Happy days.

Hello everyone!

I'm lat reporting in for this month, but I have done it - I have hit my three month emenrgency fund total!

I want to keep going to eventually get to the sixth month total, but I need to put money into the house for now, so I'm going to be reducing the amount I put in the EF a lot each month. It will probably only be £50 a month or similar for the foreseeable.

I'm glad to have got here, but there is still further to go (with a little rest.)

Good luck to everyone else!

#45: £3300

Hi (No 2 here)
Please could you add £50 for June - a couple of survey payouts and a couple of sales so a bit extra 
Stay safe everyone, enjoy the sunshine and thanks for the updating

Thanks @Dobbibill I'm so chuffed! All debts cleared now too. Admittedly it helps when you sell your flat but still, I'm taking the win!
