I concur that you have to tell us your 2023 goals...Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality
1) MFW Nov 21 ยฃ202K now ยฃ165K Equity 38.88% 6/9/26
2) ยฃ1.5K Net savings after CCs 29/8/26 (but owed ยฃ130) so ยฃ1.6K
3) 47/82K @29/8/26 = 57.31% AVC Goal by mid 20283 -
It's only dropped 7p at Sainsbury's, which I was toying with when I went there earlier. Very glad I couldn't be bothered because it looked a bit busy! The back street garage I have never used before is now firmly on my map - and only about a mile from my house ๐
BTW, I think you're building these financial goals up to be more exciting than they are, it's only to keep saving a lot, then try saving a bit more ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ!Mortgage start: ยฃ65,495 (March 2016)
