    Hi all,
    More D-roo wages into my EF - £44.57.
    It could have been more, but I dropped a few hours. Been wearing myself out lately and needed the rest.

    EF Total £342.15/£5000


    Post #2 updated - you've jumped almost a whole % in one go woohoo :T :D

    Hi Skye Blue (new no 2) here

    Please could you add £25 to my total (£1875)

    I think this is the highest total of savings I've reached in a long time

    Keep going everyone

    Thanks to Dobbi


    Post #2 updated - doing absolutely brilliantly. You've reached a massive 62.5%. That's amazing.



    Keep on keeping on


    Dobbi ;)

    Hmm, £320 is 5.9% which is irritating. Have shuffled another £4 over so now £324/5400 for #12 which is 6%. Much better!

    I've been reading All Your Worth this week, it's the 50 / 30 / 20 method for personal finance. It has inspired me to add the rest of the 20% of my salary into the Emergency Fund this month, taking me over the £1,000 bracket to £1,100.

    Here is a picture of the book if anyone is interested:

    Do you mind giving a brief summary of the 50/30/20 method. Sounds interesting
