    I reckon you should buy the best mattress and walking boots that you can afford as they’ll last you a long time and they are murder if they are wrong.

    I daren't ask.
    Save 12k in 2013-2014-2015-2016-2017-2018-2019-2020-2021-2022 - then early-retired.

    Save £12k in 2022 thread #7:

    Save £10,000 Jan-May 2022 THEN RETIRE!!
    Final total for (half) year: -£4,000
  • #52 declaring £1200 for January :) opened two new regular savers this month to get the ball rolling.

    Very happy with this total considering I had to clear my huge Xmas credit card bills. I also paid for my annual season ticket for work. Hoping February will be less expensive!

    I'm reducing my daily spending so hopefully I can continue with the above amount every month.

    End of month ‘tidying’ £634 off to savings - this is the council tax bill that I don’t pay in February plus some extra earnings from seeking cakes at market plus the residual in my account on payday!
    Trying to keep in budget.
