  • Hi,

    Is it still possible to join? We started our MF journey in 2018. Since then we’ve worked on reducing spending and increasing earnings. We started the year with a mortgage of £46000. We used savings to reduce it to £25000. Have been OP each month and we’re now at £10500. Aim is MF by November this year.
  • Good afternoon all,

    Reporting in with July's OP of £850.

    Thanks @julicorn

    #76 with £17.19 to bring me up to £1000 for the year
    Could you do me a favour and check that I've got everything recorded correctly for you in the spreadsheet? I think I've probably missed one of your previous payments :)
    Oh dear I’ve got in a pickle! Just checked against my bank statements and we’re at £988 not £1000! Well, we are at £1000 now as it couldn’t let it get past me...

    Month by month
    march £50
    may £157.76 (there was one I’d not put in the thread)
    june £513.05
    july £279.19 (including the £12 I’ve just paid 😂)

    thanks Julicorn x
    Great stuff, thank you so much!

    Hi @Freetosave , absolutely! I've given you #129, and taken a bit of liberty in how to record your payments so far - let me know if you want me to change them :) It probably doesn't reflect exactly what you've been paying so far, more your reduction in balance.
