#93 March Summary

Favourite time of the month again, especially after a bonus month AND the Cheltenham bonanza.

Summary:

A great one-off month, we managed a 40% savings rate from the bumper pay. If you removed the short term debts we're repaying this would be closer to 60%!

Came to an agreement with the Mrs that in return for the purchase of one very expensive new pram - for our third child due in May - I could play football next season :) . So about £400~ was put down on the pram for this month and a 12 month 0% loan added to the liabilities.

Really happy with the decision to split the bonus 5050 between direct pension contributions and cash. The pension contributions should filter through to my assets by next month and the cash went towards paying down the car loan, knocking nearly 2 years off the 5 year repayment plan.

In terms of current assets and liabilities so excluding pension and mortgage, we currently owe £1,500 more than we have saved. Coupling debt decreasing by monthly debt repayments with normal monthly investments I'd expect to turn this into a positive probably not next month but in June.
