Getting FIREd up 😀

Are we talking about Marple or real life now 🤔??? In Marple of course there are murders (love that my phone automatically puts a capital letter on that word for me now - I have to re-type every time 🤣), and they are very mysterious. In real life, not sure, but I'd like to think I'd make it back alive 😮

So much for no more holiday spending, have just spent £46.50 tacking on an extra night to my solo trip later on this year 😳!

First of the month round-up....

(Last month's figures in brackets)

Pensions: 79.1% (78.9%)

ISA: 4.4% (4.2%)

LISA: 29.7% (23.2%)

Cash for retirement: 0% (11.8%) - emptied into the LISA

Cash for refurb: 5.8% (5.8%)

Bleurgh, why haven't I FIREd yet??? I've got to get this refurb out of the way, I'm sick of thinking about it. The rest of 2023 is all about saving for all of next year's planned expenditure (and paying for holidays 🤣), then the plan for 2024 is to hit it hard. Then my money can actually be going towards The Future (and holidays)!

On the plus side, £5.10 in from Prolific 🤣!

Great progress! I know what you mean though I feel really impatient too, I think we have 15 years left to FIRE & it does feel like a grind currently! Hope you have had a great bank holiday CM

Thanks CM, you too 😀 My secret aim was 12 years, once I've collected enough NI, but can't see that happening at the moment!

I think you need to give yourself mini goals, 12 years is a long time, don't go wishing it away!

Hmmm, but what

OMG, what has MSE done to me - why can't I use my emojis any more?

Or use more than one question mark at a time
