September 2023 Net Worth Update (+£2935.51)
This month was a long one, I feel like I achieved a lot of what I wanted to, and made some dents in my financial goals. There is a lot below, including a total breakdown of my assets and liabilities,...
March FIRE Update – +26% YoY £130,380.67 (+£9,381.51)
Well, when they said the first 100k is the hardest, they really meant it. Since February, I've added £9,381.51 to my net worth. This is roughly 26% to my FIRE target. This year it has been tough to make headway...
FIRE Update – December 2022 – £124k – (Joint Finances and Life Changes)

October Net Worth – £118,069.63 (+1% / +£840) – 23.61% to FIRE

August Net Worth Update – £107,045.10 (21.4% to FIRE!)
August was a busy month but a less expensive one. I've been on about four holidays between April and July this year, therefore it was time for me to spend some time reading, writing, and thinking rather than go on...

After only just breaking through £50k last month, my net worth hit a new record high of £67,028. My net worth increased by a (frankly ridiculous) £15,077 this month, or £495 per day. This was massively buoyed by two factors....
Net Worth Update for March 2021 – £51,951 (+£5,423)
I thought I would preface this with some figures. I have been tracking my income / savings rate since June 2018. This was when I started my first proper job (I had one before but saved nothing from it!). It's...
