    This will be my last update for January. February will be loads and loads smaller than my total this month.

    #41 Macsidia declaring £1,220 for January.

    Majority of my income, PB winnings and some monthly interest. Some money has been used for BNPL purchases I made around the Black Friday sales.

    February will be much lower as I've had to be off work sick a few days this week and I get nothing for being absent for the first 3 days and there was a Boxing Day premium included with my 1st weeks pay this year.

    I've noticed some people are putting amounts to the penny, but I've decided to round it off to keep it simple and make quicker calculations.
    Save £12,000 in 2024: £17,500 out of £12,000.
    Save £12,000 in 2025: £0 out of £12,000.

    #58 - Here is my update for Jan24

    Total to add - £2,072.88

    A hefty start to kick off with mainly in thanks to bonus' accrued from past job and an early bonus from the new one :smile:   If only every month was like this, *wishful sigh*.

    Rough breakdown :-
    Direct to savings accounts/bonds
    Proper earned money - £355.37     Bonus' accrued - £1264.20     cISA Interest - £123.63 (Total £1743.20)

    Interest Earned on EA accounts
    £4.68 (<- :D this is low because I'm at the taxable limit for this year, so funds are allocated elsewhere atm).

    Premium Bond winnings - £325

    Roll on Febuary!

    #49 reporting for January - £2384.21.

    I just total up my savings at the end of each month and report the difference compared to the previous month, so this includes anything I've paid in from my salary and any interest earned - it's the interest that has given my Jan total a boost, Feb will be lower!
  • Some good updates.  The spreadsheet is filling up nicely.  Well done all. 

    Just 5 days left in January.
