October Spending (Woohoo!)

 


I did it!!  I now have £10,022.60 in my savings account 🎉🎉🎉 When I set myself the target of saving £10k a year for 4 years I thought in theory it was possible.  But I'm still a little shocked I've actually managed the first £10k.

It's not been an easy month (in many ways) but my spending has all been on food/supermarket stuff or DIY/decor materials.  Total spend was £507.06.  With a few bits and bobs still outstanding technically for October, I put £529.66 into my account tonight to take it over the £10k.

That's equal to at least one year's retirement money.  I'm rather chuffed with myself 😊

    Well done and you are right to be pleased! The one thing I spend very little on in retirement is clothes. Clean, tidy and wearing preloved clothing is my aim. No more expensive hair colours since March 2020. The interesting thing is that I now wear out footwear as I walk whenever possible. Catriona

      Thanks! I've already decided I'm no longer buying new clothes (just underwear) but will buy decent shoes/boots as I'm on my feet all day. Not coloured my hair since pre pandemic and it's just a shoulder length bob, easy to maintain with a good cut once or twice a year.

      Thanks! I'm fortunate to have a good paying job and a low cost lifestyle. I know that's a rare thing atm and I do consider myself very lucky

      Thanks Aril! It was worth all the planning and recording this year. Not sure how I'll do next year though with all the increases xxx
