I can finally declare a bit more added into our retirement fund savings account made up of the following:-

£ 608.00 from subscription savings, our mortgage payment etc

£ 191.87 wages from restaurant

£ 22.16 from savings account interest

£ 12.71 from savings account interest

________

£ 834.74

So this brings our total so far £6915.77/£38457 = 17.96% ❤️

I'm so close to my next full 1% - I'm off to see where I can find £14.93 :)

I found the extra - forgot it was Etsy payday yesterday so have added £67.43 into our pot.

Etsy is pretty pants at the moment so I'm not earning anywhere near what I used to on the platform but it is still something so I am grateful. Anyone else on here on Etsy and finding the same?

Our total so far is now £6983.20/£38457 = 18.13% ❤️

£ 530.00 wages from restaurant

£ 242.19 interest from savings account

_______

That makes our total so far £7755.39/£38457 = 20.14% ❤️

Morning everyone,

We have all been very quiet. It shows how tough it is out there at the moment but we will all get through it I'm sure.

I have managed to add another £210.00 into our retirement fund savings account so that is better than nothing :)

Our total so far is now £9166.22/£38457 = 23.80%

I'm getting closer to my next full %.

How is everyone else getting on?

Well done. I think the saving and paying down debts thing is getting harder each year. 😂 It's the current climate probably. I've not counted in a bit but the good news is DH is now back at work. My contract has been extended till August and other than an overdraft of prob about 400 we are probably in depending what part of the month it is we are still intact. Not bad all things considered. I'll do a proper count up this weekend to see.
