Current target is $2626 put into savings in March which is approximately 33.5% of my income this month. Plus $100 added to mortgage principal.

I think I *could* do more but just not comfortable saying so confidently, yet. Maybe when gf moves in with me I can increase that a little bit.

my current target is to be 6'5" with good teeth and hair, i wonder if i'm more likely to hit a mid-30s growth spurt than you are to save a third of your income

Well March is done so I have you beat there. The key is to consistently do it. That's the key you see.

What savings rate do you aspire to, Spokes?

Just gently caress off forever. No one wants you here and if you want to be the only person who posts in your thread just go back to your lovely blog that no one bothered to read. It's the same loving thing.

You can't even loving lie properly. You're absolutely useless beyond redemption.

You want to see me succeed. You want to be the one who posted just the right content to be the one who truly helped zaurg change his ways. Just like Nam Taf and many others. This is not my ego talking, it’s just the truth, people want to root for or against, it’s just our nature. Lucky for you, the change is happening and has been happening. No one really wants to acknowledge it because then the book would be over. No one really wants it to end.

I’ve intentionally stopped even throwing out generic help for others based on your mistakes, just in case you finally do listen, such is how little I want to help you any more. You’ve so completely pissed away any goodwill that I literally do not care about your future any more.

I do not want to see you succeed in any way, except in shutting the gently caress up and going away forever. That is all.

What are you doing? Stop manually typing this crap and/or using your horrible spreadsheets and post a screenshot from Pocket Smith. Redact personal details if you need to, but stop this particular idiocy.

In case the reason you are doing this is because you don't know where the report is, here's a hint: go to the menu > Budgets & Reports > Income & Expense > take a screenshot or hit Ctrl + P and print it to a PDF

He's not doing this because that would of course provide actual proof regarding his actual spending vs budget in a way that can't be manipulated.

Lol. Remember when I goaded him into doing this with Mint and it was like 4 lines of incomplete nonsense?

Post the screenshot, poo poo-for-brains

Edit: New prediction. He's not posting the screenshot because he stopped using Pocket Smith when he found out it doesn't let him obfuscate the truth and to try and post a screenshot now would reveal that the numbers he's been posting so far are totally fictitious and have no resemblance to his real spending.
