    At begging of the year I had (Altogether) about lets say 9k for instance

    My target for this year was to save £4,000

    I Smashed that Achievement in September (Saved 5K) But bought a car/insured/taxed it so the money went down a bit. (Want my own didn't wanna share with mum any more)

    Did sell my old iPhone 6 but naught me bought an Xbox one with that money

    But I am Gonna save up again next year for a nice holiday or go to a Trance Event e.g to see Armin Van Burren or A State of trance Event

    Spent quite a bit lately so after the next 2 weekends (Halloween party & Night out/stay over in Norwich) I am gonna cut down on going out clubbing etc and will save my money for Christmas & will only spend when I need to E.G Fill Car Up/Go on dates (If I get any) & see friends

    I do spend £12.30 a week to go swimming at my local pool 3 times a week

    I feel saving up is a good idea as only spend what you have

    Number 24 reporting, what with holidays and weddings I cannot stop spending this year!!
    This months spend was a puppy but she is worth every single penny!
    This month I have saved £491.63 and I have decided to reduce my target to 10000 for 2016.
    However, with the year I have had I am amazed that I can save at all and it is all down to this thread and SF so a huge thank you!!
    Take care all.xxx

    I don't think I'm going to hit my target :( I've got 2 paydays left and £7500 of target remaining... I might be able to do another £3000 leaving me ~£4500 short.
    I'm not going to meet mine either... but it's better than nothing!
