I've not even got to the top shelf cush yet.

Here is my 0% beer tracker with a few actual beers thrown in for comparison:

Inspired by a conversation elsewhere, have you ever been the beneficiary of an error, or an event at a financial institution that left you with a profit?

I can start by going back to 1991. I had a BCCI credit card and I'd made a couple of large purchases in the month prior to them collapsing. I did receive a letter telling me that someone would be in touch for me to pay my balance but nobody ever did. Because it was such a large figure, I remember exactly how my much it was at the time. £4,767.25

I had the money and I kept it in a separate account for a few months but eventually decided that if they didn't want it, I'd keep it.

In 2018, I woke up one morning and there was a deposit of £1,904 in my Paypal account that I knew nothing about. I made every possible attempt I could to trace it with no success, even PayPal couldn't tell me anything about it (I posted a thread about it here. Two weeks later it vanished with literally no trace of it ever being there so I wasn't so lucky then.

Has anyone else had anything similar? Bank error, random deposit?

Why do you do this when you have such a large mortgage (i cant recall if you said 4k+?) and (presumably) income? Seems like a total headache. Ive got a budget but work to rough figures and don't micro manage /track small stuff.

Seems at the short end a waste of time and the long end anxiety inducing

Murder. Clearly 6 letters obscured there. It's a murder table.

Sewing is worse.

also i love that people are outraged that a poor 18 year old student pocketed a £20 note, whilst people are admitting to fully stealing "entire kitchens" and Months of unearned back wages.. lol

Brilliant :p

I project my cashflow at least three months in advance. It cures my anxiety. I get anxious if I don't know precisely where I stand. Every morning I spend 2mins checking every bank account and logging every transaction. I also actively try not to spend money on trivial things because I CBA to update my tracker.

TBF the distinction I made was steal from companies, not people. But I'd still probably not keep a full 5 figure kitchen suite :D

I know, but i wasn't going to be able to give it back so i was essentially stealing from my boss, who was a Cword and on the take anyway, drinking stock without paying, yeah i could justify anything as a teenage ahole.

I studied at Oxford brookes anyway, trust me the punters could afford it. Not being a complete cliche but mummy and daddy financed most back then.
