26.5% of my target saved, and if you include the shares (which I could easily sell in an emergency), it jumps to to 37% of my target. Of course, my aim is to get to 100% in instantly available cash, since the share value will no doubt fluctuate too much to rely on it.
...that the completion terms of this goal could alter if I were to receive a payrise, even though my expenses wouldn’t increase (I would just save mo’ money, mo’ quickly).
So, on that basis, I’m going to cap this goal to be £X,X00, based on salary at the time of setting the goal. Of course, I’m not expecting a payrise anytime soon, but stranger things have happened!
This turned up in my blog reader this morning, and I thought I’d share it.
Interestingly, my calculations for 3 months worth of expenses turned out to be the equivalent of one pay cheque for me. That means that completing this goal would give me 9 months of emergency funds, which is pretty good. I suspect that’s not wholly accurate, and I was probably underestimating my transport costs (I just made rough guesses rather than looking them up). Also, I ignored “other debt” repayments since I won’t have any after March.
