Ah, perhaps I should clarify! I wasn't thinking about them, more wondering whether people actually take them 🤔?Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Raising the tone, I have a chart to share with you all later. It shows off my Excel skills to perfection 😀!

(George Michael/George Harrison/Chaka Khan/Boy George/UB40/The Human League/Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince/Salt n Pepa) loudly (with occasional singing along) whilst preparing my pizza for dinner is perfectly acceptable, right 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️???
(I'm saying yes, as I reckon it's marginally less antisocial than the man who came home drunk in the early hours last night and hammered on the locked outside door, calling for someone to "Let me in" for 10 minutes, until someone did indeed let him in 🤣!)

Looking forward to seeing the chart later.Fashion on a ration 2025 0/66 coupons spent

Check out this bad boy....
The straight lines are the targets for each category and the wiggly lines are the actual figures each month. Pensions weren't a million miles away from the target at the beginning of the year, but have been all over the place since. Cash and ISA are neck and neck at the moment, but at some point (probably towards the end of the year), cash will fall as it gets moved into the LISA (which will stay flat until then). Very pleased with my skillz in putting this together 😀 (especially being able to make the "target" and "actual" the same colour in each category and removing some of the labels so they weren't all on there twice 👍).
BTW, the end of 2026 is not the estimated date for hitting all the targets, it was just a convenient date to end the chart!!!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Question - would it not be a good thing if target and actual lines were a similar but slightly different colour (say same colour with a faint hatching pattern on one line or the like)? Otherwise your chart becomes hard to read (IMHO)3
