Hi all, #70 here having submitted September form with £12076. More than expected as cashed out paid holiday owed from work. Will have another month or so of aggressive saving while I transfer out equity share and bonus schemes from work and sort out tax rebates. Following that it’s early retirement for me and moving to a stage of decumulation 🙂

Oh wow @ilselm - that is just brilliant. You kind of snuck that news in there - congratulations and welcome to a life of not working 🎉🎉

The forum has changed a lot. Everything looks so unfamilar.

I'm glad it's not just me thinking this - our thread seems kind of buried and difficult for people to find now. Perhaps that's why the thread is so much quieter this year?

The quieter a thread is, the harder it will be to find, at least for those who don't have it bookmarked.

Oh well done! Congratulations. It's time to take the foot off the pedal!

Do you mind sharing your decumulation plan??

Number 20 here reporting £1950 for the month of September. 
This has taken me past my £12k target! 
Honestly I thought I would've hit £12k earlier on but I've been a lot more spendy the past few months and been paying out for mortgage survey fees etc.

This month I had a lump sum of interest from my Skipton savings account of about £130 and £47 from my HTB ISA. So these amounts definitely helped. 

I'm going to continue saving as much as I can for the rest of the year. I am planning an extension when I move into my new home so want as much cash available as I can have.

#9 checking in with savings of £1,863 for September.  Have done quite a bit of Christmas shopping so hoping to keep the savings up until the end of the year.  Away to submit the form before I forget!

Reporting £1298.41 for September. Had to pay the credit card bill this month for a short break in the North-East, plus the next module of my Spanish evening classes ("Hola!"), and a very nice curry whilst visiting no.2 son.

Minus £500 for September . I did actually save £1500, but the negative comes from my S&S ISA dipping.
