The 6th April has come around and here, in the UK, it is the start of another new tax year.
Everything has been reset, and for me that means my expenses mileage clock has set back to zero too. Last year I amassed about 3500 miles. That doesn’t sound like a lot but when you start talking money it accounts for over £1500 additional income. This forthcoming year I should be nearer the magic 5000 mile mark, which will equate to over £2200 extra income. Sweet.
Unfortunately my savings situation doesn’t allow for me to get all giddy over the thought of tax-free savings. Maybe next year with that one.
I hope you have your budgets and financial goals set for this forth-coming year. I certainly have. My budget is maintained over a rolling 12 month period i.e. on the first of every month I review this month’s budget whilst updating the monthly budget for the same month next year. Using YNAB certainly helps me with that one.
My financial goal for this coming year is to end the year with a positive net-worth. This excludes the inherited debt burden which will be cleared by mid-2017.
Happy New (Financial) Year to all my readers.
