Simple Pound

This review will go up a little earlier than normal, because I’m expecting my parents for the weekend and also, well, I’ll be graduating on Saturday and things will thus be a little hectic here.

In financial terms, lots has happened. In a way, June has been both my worst and my best month. It was a really bad month in terms of expenses because the last weeks at Uni also mean lots and lots of dining out, nights out and/or meeting up for coffee etc. I have also been visiting my parents more often than normal and hence spent quite a lot of money on travel. At the same time, I received the sign-on bonus from my employer (aka the “Golden Handshake”), which means that I’m not only progressing with my individual financial goals (check out the progress page!) but also managed to nearly quadruple my net worth (only shows how poor I was before!).

Adam has also (voluntarily!) provided me with an update on his financial situation for June. Despite a mistake in his spreadsheet that masked his level of debt as £2,000 lower than it actually was, he reported a little improvement and was proud to announce that he has been changing his mindset into (I quote) “must not waste money”. Thumps up!

Together with this financial update I have also updated the Best-of page to reflect the best June posts. The “Best-Ever” list is now written in a “hit list” format so you can see how things change from month to month. The number in brackets behind the post title shows the previous month’s position of the post with ( - ) indicating a brand new post that didn’t appear in the list before. Hope you like it!
