Hi Julicorn,
Thank you for running the challenge, I spotted this a few days ago and have been deliberating. I have Submitted a form £3K per year for EF or New Car or Both. I have updated my calendar with the new event to update you 25th Every 3 months, I already know the first month will be zero, owed to the fact that I am not paid until 31st and all that money is going to pay off the credit card. But I will update again on 25th if you like? Thank you. Also I am starting on Zero. Thank you.Missions for the rest of the year:-
1) Build up an emergency fund (EF)
2) Improve spending habits.
3) Create a budget that is compatible to me.
4) Buy healthier snacks to avoid junk food splurges.2 -

Hi @julicorn As I stipulated before I am actually starting at minus, however on payday I will pay off credit card debt fully and next time I should hope to report some figures. I had been out of work for four months. Thanks.Missions for the rest of the year:-
1) Build up an emergency fund (EF)
2) Improve spending habits.
3) Create a budget that is compatible to me.
4) Buy healthier snacks to avoid junk food splurges.0 -
Hi everyone, thank you so much for registering for the T7 challenge! I've just posted the table, have a look at the first post on page 1 and you'll see your number there
I believe there are a few people who accidentally sent through a registration on the T6 form. If that's you, please re-submit your registration using the correct form (the one posted in this thread), and I'll add you in next time I update the table.
Wishing you all the best for the next 3 years, you can do this!5 -
Morning all,
Form submitted as I have moved money around and know there's no more OPs to be made this month.
Thank you @julicorn for running the challenge.
