# 100 Xenon
May - £1518
Flat Deposit/Costs £133,3813 -
I'm recording an increase in cash balance. My original goal was £9.6k which seems almost impossible at this point. But I remain hopeful.
£181.48 for May.
Had to replace a laptop and vacuum cleaner, pay car tax, car insurance and professional fees. And still on a 0BR tax code last month.
Saving £50 and ten hours a week by working closer to home in a far nicer job with generous pension contributions, but taking home £200 a week less *sigh*.Debt Free: 01/01/2020

Hi, #24 here reporting £1100 for May.
Hope everyone is safe and well.

I think June will be a smaller savings month for me as I haven't worked as much overtime, and some money put aside to cover council tax in April and May has now gone, so will be paying June's from my pay for the first time this year.
So far I've put in £445 into savings which includes an amount into my regular saver, the max £200 into my HTB ISA and a few quid into a rainy day fund. Looking to double my June total by the end of the month.Save £12k in 2022 = £3705.97/ £7,500 (49%)
