  • June savings are down as my car is misbehaving. It's looking like it won't get through it's MOT as there are real problems with the engine. I haven't worked out what to do yet, but I am expecting it to cost me some money. Sigh.

    Sorry for lack of updates, have had a bit of time away from posting on MSE. I’ve submitted form with updates for April and May as follows:

    April £904.04 - this was much less than normal as I used some of what I would usually save to pay for a private medical procedure to help my migraines

    May £1572.71 - obviously a much better month

    Total now £7,384.32

    I’ll update for June after the end of the month.

    #45 reporting in with £4,900 for June, bringing it all to £29,151.56 for the year so far. Over halfway, although looks like the pace will slow a bit over the next few months as work/life balance hopefully improves and overtime drops.

    Feeling a bit stuck in a rut at the moment, as I've have hit a stage where my near-term savings targets are behind me and the mortgage-free goal was reached a year ago, but the big FI/RE goals are still long way off. Not a bad place by any means, but I need to think what the next set of targets look like.
