2022 Goals

I use ONS metrics for net worth related goals[1] – why reinvent the wheel? Calling home equity “property wealth” may be a tad silly, but it seemed reasonable to keep the ONS terminology intact for consistency.

Savings rate

Maintain a savings rate above 50%. Monthly savings rates don’t matter so long as the year to date average is at or above target.

Property wealth

Reduce mortgage by £25,000.

Pension wealth

Use up all available pension allowance.

Financial wealth

Use up all ISA allowance.

Tax

Pay no more than £48,000 income tax in 2021 / 2022 tax year.

Notes:

  1. Except for property, where I don’t take into account any revaluations, hence here and everywhere else in this blog property wealth = purchase price – outstanding mortgage balance.
