Hi there Julicorn #57 reporting in after missing June (oops)
- OP (savings) at end of Jun 23 of £1090.
- OP (savings) at end of Jul 23 of £1120
My total this year £5928 /£10800
Not quite on target - but catching up. Been a few swings and roundabounts (vets fees, tax rebates and surprise inheritances) but I'm trying to stick to my yearly target (each month 2x reg savers + 1xsharesave thing + 1p saving challenge allocated as my OP, but not counting pension money) and will review at the end of the year when my total savings should match my mortgage balance (more detail in my diary) and earning 3%-4% more
