Hi all! :wave:

I’m Rags - long time lurker and fan but first post! Based in London :uk: Work in real estate finance :house_with_garden::moneybag:and love fitness, tech and personal finance!

Had to hide Emma as have recently bought a place and the incessant spending is just depressing to see :joy: back on it now though and loving the new features - v excited about the potential crowdfunding, look forward to seeing more.

Hey @Rags :wave:

Good to have you here!

Congrats on buying a place! :clap: I’m not looking forward to seeing my bank account after I eventually buy somewhere either :joy: Did you buy in London?

Yes! Love the city too much to live anywhere else

Ended up buying with a friend of mine as I couldn’t afford it on my own and we got lucky with a bargain at the start of the first lockdown :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: we were both sick of renting so just made sense!

Love that!

I have noticed more and more people are choosing to buy with their friends. It deffo makes sense if you’re both in a similar financial position and don’t want to rent anymore :raised_hands:

Hey Guys,
I am seriously impressed with What Emma has done in the last 12 months; WOW!!
I couldn’t find anything serving my needs, so I started a company to solve it.

Keen to invest in the upcoming campaign. Good luck!

Hi, I’m John from the UK.

I’ve been using Emma for some time now and wouldn’t be without it. I started out using YOLT but migrated to Emma - I think the trigger was that a number of my bank accounts stopped synching in Yolt which rendered it fairly pointless.

I’m a PowerUser subscriber and after the last Crowdcube round also an investor, but still probably not using half of the functionality available.

Hi,

I’ve recently started using Emma as Yolt is closing… really like the app, and the features it offers.

Currently studying part time for a law conversion course.
