Getting FIREd up 😀

Vix, that was the one 🤣! And yes, I'm sure it took way longer than the 9 minutes they said. There was a second one the same, but I decided on the first page I couldn't cope with the same thing again and got up and went for a run instead

Sounds like a much better use of time, although I hope it’s not raining with you - it is here.

I just had one of those too, on prolific. Rating my agreement repeatedly with the answer to the question ‘I like the colour blue’ with no guidance resulted in me abandoning said survey (it was longer than expected too). You’d think people could actually put the effort in if they want our views for their research!

The only thing they look out for for that one is that you give the same answer on each page - because chances are your opinion on the colour blue shouldn't change in the space of 7 minutes.

Aaahh, that makes (a bit of) sense. I was consistently a 4, so hopefully I'm OK! Although, in other news....

Monster survey session completed this afternoon/evening. There were still 18 available to me when I logged off, but I just can't do any more tonight 😳! Humongous thanks again to Ed for telling me how to access them 😘

And no rain either, Vix - a successful Sunday all round!

Still none for me, glad you are making hay while the sun shines SC

Now I know that we like the colour blue equally much

First of the month round-up....

• Cards minus savings: £6,507.20 (DOWN £3,180.66)
• Savings for retirement: £142,718.28 (UP £4,448.29 🤯🤯🤯)
• 8.18 years to go

OMG, another incredible month 😳! Over £7.5k positive movement, which is waaaaayyy more than I earn in the same time! No idea why the stock market has gone so wild, can't see that the world seems a more promising/stable place than it did 30 days ago 🤷‍♀️ I'm not complaining, just slightly baffled!

Looks like an excellent time to sign up to invest my interest - even though Ed told me not to 😘!

In other news, I am loving this worked example from Monzo's "Investing 101" article: 


I mean, who wouldn't want 1,000 Chomps 🤷‍♀️? I well remember the almost mythical significance they (and Taz's) took on when my orthodontist fitted my braces and warned me of dire consequences should I eat caramel - which of course just made me want to eat Chomps 😅😅😅!

Not a collection of words I would ever put together in a sentence....
