Aw, thanks EG 😀! Funnily enough, I was thinking about the mullet question when watching the Six Nations yesterday - they seem to have a disproportionate representation in international rugby players. So does that mean they have more fun 🤔?Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

First of the month round-up....(Last month's figures in brackets)Pensions: 78.8% (79.0%)ISA: 3.9% (3.9%)LISA: 23.2% (23.2%)Cash for retirement: 11.8% (4.1%)Cash for refurb: 5.8% (13.3%)A bit more progress made this month, but not massive. I did a raid on the refurb pot to convert it to cash for the LISA pot so I'm ready to transfer it over at the start of the tax year, which is why those two have switched around so dramatically. No other perceptive insights from me this month, onwards we go!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)
