Re: How to buffer and keep AOM > 30 on rent

Re: 2021 Age Of Money Challenge
Using the last or the first day of the month should not matter much for comparison. Wouldn't it at most differ by 1 AOM?

Re: 2021: The Official YNAB Savings Challenge
I started the process of transferring my active employer-paid pension. The process could take up to 30 days, so I'm not holding my breath. In the end, this move will hopefully increase my pension by…

Re: 2021 Age Of Money Challenge
I am bad at predicting the future, but I nevertheless set my goal to 280. I did get a 5% raise this year, which should assist my progress. 🙂 December 2020: 213 Goal: 280 January: 222

Re: Age of Money - Twenty-twenty!
November AOM 212 (-11 days) and DoB at 322 (-31 days) The AOM and DoB decline mainly stems from a new investment opportunity I signed up for which required some fresh funding. 💸

@Sea Green Cornet When paying down debt at an accelerated rate Age of Money or Days of Buffering shouldn't really be your priorities. Negative DoB is expected and equally a low AoM.…
