£500 saved for April

Form submitted for May. I got an unexpected pay rise in April, which is very appreciated. It was due in November, so that's about an extra £800 or so over the next few months. 

I accidentally bought a new armchair this month. It was planned but not yet. I expected it to mess with my savings, but in a new and exciting experience YNAB has made it all OK. I just moved some savings from other categories and it was suddenly not a problem. I am sure this is something that loads of people are used to, but it was a big deal to me that I could accommodate £450 of chair in my budget and still hit my savings goal for the month. Now I just need to put money back in those savings categories over the next couple of months.

#21 reporting £1,246.68 for April. 

Had to withdraw again for more car repairs which dropped my savings rate 🙄 annoyingly the error light came back on AGAIN so I’m just going to ignore it now.

#22 reporting £1,058.98 for April. This is the highest sum I have so far saved in a month, ever, due to finally paying off my 0% interest card in March. Hopefully I will be able to continue saving similar large sums in the coming months.

Congratulations on losing the debt!
