No. 48 reporting £1,531 for December.
That includes a cheeky £50 PB win and the current interest on my S&S ISA which I am planning to report yearly.
Total for the year according to my calculations is £26,256 which puts me at 105% of target. Super pleased with this.
Have saved about 2/3rds of my take home pay every month which is absolutely amazing. As mentioned in 2022 thread, not sure I'll be able to do the same next year, but will aim for it and see how close I can get.
Well done to everyone, those who have hit or target and those who have not. Its been a weird old year.
Off to update the form.6 -
November total was £889.61 and will update the link shortly.
I am going to be well short of the £12k target, but with home improvements and a holiday this year, it was always going to be tough. I have joined in the make £10 a day thread to help me keep motivated and encourage me to make a bit extra
I will join the thread for 2022 and hopefully I will start to get a lot more in dividends by this time next year.Debt Free - done
Mortgage Free - done

£2720 this month - thankfully received some money my OH owed me for the house costs and annual bonus + some overtime really helped push me ahead.
My total savings are now above the goal I set myself for the year so I am really really happy. I'm looking forward to the 2022 thread.3 -
