Savings Report number 100! Have I really been doing these updates for the past 100 months!? I remember watching FIRE documentaries at the beginning and thinking that 8 years seemed like a long time, surely I’ll be retired by then!
I can’t believe I’ve been saving for financial independence for over 8 years let alone been blogging about it.
I was just a young whipper snapper, I’d started my first big-wages job in London, I was going to FIRE meet ups, I had around £30k in savings; pension and ISA combined.
A lot has happened, and we are now on the final stretch for sure, here’s to the next 100 months!
There was a crash this month, then a huge crash in the past week since the mid-term election, then a rebound.
The market is being hyperbolic as usual.
Anyway, I’m late so this is a quick one! I’m still hoping to cross the $2m networth milestone before the end of the year, I’m hoping for a santa rally to get us there.
Not much went on in October. We’re still trying to get a handle on our grocery spending, I’m hoping to bring it down to £500 or less a month going forward.
Now we’re beginning to plan for Christmas as we’ll be hosting both sets of parents for the first time and Mrs SavingNinja’s brother and girlfriend as well.
We’re looking forward to the cozy cold winter months and to hopefully see some snow soon.
See you next month!
