Well I couldn't think of any better reason so save than to shut you up so you knowing my progress may not be a bad thing :) Catch me on msn sometime if you want current figures..

I'm sure I could fit in another graph to track your progress if you are interested... :-P *lol* Are you planning to put down 20%?

I’m sure I could fit in another graph to track your progress if you are interested… :-P

I'm currently trying to get my house deposit together so I should do something similar with my accessible assets :) .. currently sitting at about.. hmm... -17.5%. Okay, you win! Keep it up!

This way I can check my progress without digging out the end-of-month post. And yes, I am capping the value at the moment, but only to make it seem less daunting. And I am expressing it in percentage because I think the progress in itself counts and not the actual amount. I believe it's enough if I know what exactly I have in my accounts, especially as it might be a ridiculously low sum for some readers, while it's way out of reach for others. By tracking it in percentage I only monitor the journey, not necessarily the goal. So for your information, the current goal is 10,000 pounds. Once I reach that, the next goal becomes 50,000 then 100,000 and so forth.

Many congrats on the credit cards :). You are measuring your net assets in percentage format which I suppose makes sense if you have a worth you are aiming for.. but I couldn't imagine you capping your value, so do explain..

London. It always sounds so glamorous to me. I had so many layovers at Heathrow, but unfortunately have not be able to visit London proper (yet). What will be your line of work? If you don't mind me asking? It sounds like you've got a good deal already if they are paying relocation/sign-on bonus. So.. congrats! Oooh. London. It always sounds so glamorous to me.
