Number 18 checking in. I havent posted here since march, so its not surprising I have a big jump to announce. I am now at 19%. I can't believe I was aiming for 25% by the end of the year, but I've managed 19% in 6 months

Number 16 checking in to say I've done it!! I've cleared 100% 😊
The only debt I have now is my mortgage so am planning on getting that paid off sooner rather than later.
Good luck everyone, keep going, it can be done 👍mortgage £800 overpayment 2022. £600/£2400 2023 🙂 savings £1853/£1800 😊8 -
Well done Lynneee and MidsHollie!! I've not got anything to update, pretty stagnant here as made the big payment at the start of the month. Am trying to reign in my spending as I keep wanting to spend money on hobbies, and upcoming socialising. I'm going to have to get a second job if I want to spend and save I think!
Edit:
To say that looking through the posts I don't think I updated last payday. Now at 4/6k so 66% .
I still haven't got my car serviced, which is a big one... so will see if I do that before payday, otherwise will move some more money over. I have about 400 in my normal account and a food shop, partners birthday (homemade) cocktails and cake to make plus some little gifts to buy, three days work travel, sooooooo will see how much I have left.19/12/14: Spent 10 years of savings!!
:heart2: ..... to buy my first home. :heart2:
