    My stoozed earnings get aborbed into my savings pool.

    My aim is to get to a point where I earn more in interest a month than I spend. So my whole salary is surplus and goes straight into savings. Not there yet, but getting closer !

    Wow! That is something to aim for. I'm only on my first run of stoozing so I read other posts about the amount of stoozed money with awe.

    But I console myself with the fact that every little helps and at least I am stoozing NOW. :D
    Nice to save.

    Yeh, theres one person on this board with over 81k stoozed !

    Nowhere near that level, and probably will never get anywhere near it, but still I can dream :)

    Might I enquire if you have a specific plan for this?

    I can give you my plan, whether you will understand it is another matter. :)

    Every last penny in a flexi mortgage, as it is now the only debt i have.

    After all, if you spend the money you make, you only delay the debt rather than pay it off early.

    The way i look at it, I treat every penny reclaimed from these institutions as a minor victory, making me feel better about all my younger years when I was robbed blind.

    Remember Bank loans at 25%, an expensive first car that!

    OK hands up - it's me (and husband but I do the stoozing)
    To date I have £87.940.76   :o:o stoozed between cahoot and ING. It has taken us 3 years to build up to this level and we started with a 10k loan which I transferred to 0% with EGG. We have 11 cards between us but this is constantly changing.. Many deals have been repeated - MBNA, Halifax and LloydsTSB.

    Attention to detail is vital but dosn't take up much of my time.  It is starnge though cos you come to realise it's just playing with figures... I mean apart from the interest earnt, you never 'see' the money. It is like constantly balancing scales.  ::)

    Makes you realise what a strange concept money is. Esp with all the electronic transactions - its more of an unseen energy whizzing around! :-/

    Nice one Smatsaver :D I bet you would love to hit the magical 100k though?

    I was thinking along similar lines the other day, Ive got a nice fat stooze pot, but I never actually see the cash. I might withdraw all my interest soon in five pound notes, just to have a sniff of it ! :)

    I'll try and put on my thinking cap - no guarantees!
