Geoffers just back from a week in Lanzarote, no issues at all. Felt really safe the whole time.

£1474.91 for October, pretty pleased with that!

Very inspiring to see a lot of you hitting your FIRE goals or well on the way there. It all feels a very long way off from my place in that journey so a reminder that we will all get there eventually with the right planning and a bit of luck.

@Merlin's_Beard - I couldn't agree more with what you said. Keep going. Your monthly total is ace by the way.

#38 checking in with £1,286 for November. Payday was on Friday and I always pay myself first!

Breakdown is as follows:
DD JISA - £50
DS JISA - £50
Sharesave Scheme - £156
Sharematch Scheme - £30
S&S ISA - £1,000

November total - £1,286
2021 total - £13,187.28/£12k (109.89%)

This means I've exceeded my target for the year, and still have a month to go 

Easy update form updated

Number 76 reporting savings of £1144.84 in October. I'm pleased to have gone over the £1000 mark again as it's been a while!

OH and I are looking to switch some suppliers to more ethical companies/ greener tariffs - we know it will be more expensive, but we have agreed it's important to us and will take the hit. We are looking to make savings in other places to compensate (only one meaty meal a week, hot water bottles and blankets instead of the heating on, knitting our own scarves and socks, lol) so will see how we do. Proof will be in the pudding the next 2 months!

#32 here, good news is that I have £400 of my student loan left to pay ever!!! Bad news is that I’ve saved £200 for October. 

I’m not far off my target 🎯 but I’d hoped I might get to £12,000 😔. 

EDIT: I’ve reached my target 🎯👏🏾

Well done. 

I've got £149 left to pay on 1st Nov on my main student loan (still have a postgraduate loan from a more recent masters). I hate to think how much I have paid in total. I borrowed about £13k, probably paid back double that with cumulative interest because its taken me over 15 years to pay back
