No idea if I ever joined this one. I was in one but cannot recall when last posted. I currently have the money ready to cover 1 month of bills in each bank I pay bills from and over a month in the account I replenish these from. I also have a further 3 months worth saved in another account. So all told well on way to having 6 months worth of bills.Paid off the last of my unsecured debts in 2016. Then saved up and bought a property. Current aim is to pay off my mortgage as early as possible. Currently over paying every month. Mortgage due to be paid off in 2036 hoping to get it paid off much earlier. Set up my own bespoke spreadsheet to manage my money.0
