July ’19 – Net Worth and monthly update #12 £520,781 +£6,563

Another month flies by in the FU household.

The kids’ social lives continue to dominate our time at the moment, especially Mrs FU’s,  having to organise clothes, transport, and accommodation arrangements for the various activities the little Fus are partaking in.

Firstly, we had FU#2s Prom night after completing her GCSEs.

These affairs seem to be growing in extravagance and one-upmanship, with people spending thousands on fancy dresses and limousines.

Luckily, Mrs FU being the savvy saver she is, sourced a fabulous sample dress for £50 from here. I know I’m probably biased, but I thought it was the best dress I saw at the event.  In contrast, our niece spent over £400 on a dress, and even this seemed quite a low figure when speaking to other people on what their child’s dress cost.

We also saved on transport costs by taking her there in our own car. We had to feel sorry for one girl who had hired a limousine that arrived late at the venue after everyone had gone inside. There was no-one to see her arrive in ‘style’, and the disappointment on her face as she got out brought home the fact that people often spend money on things they can’t afford trying to impress other people.

The other main event we had to organise this month was our son FU#1s trip to Benicassim Music Festival in Spain. The headliners were Kings of Leon amongst others.

Mrs Fu and I were very jealous and we wish we could have gone as well. The amount of organising we had to do for this felt like we were arranging it for ourselves. Packing luggage, arranging tickets, transport and accommodation, sorting out currency and payment cards. Next year maybe for me and Mrs Fu!

Add to the above two camping trips for Fu#3 and Fu#4, how do we have time for work?

Lots of other things going on as well but I’ve rambled on enough now.

SIPP Dividends paid in July £432– 2019 ytd £1050,  Av. £150/m (2018 £1306,  Av. £108/m).

    Nice update. How do you determine the value of your property? Have you had it valued and then adjust each year? or is there more to it?

      Hi Grizgal

      My home property value was valued approximately last year when my neighbour’s house was sold. I just update each quarter using the Nationwide house price calculator.

      I recently sold one of my rental properties so I know the value of those, and again just update as above.

    Steady progress. Is your fire target a way off once little fus have flown the nest?
