So, the title is pretty self explanatory, but this is the place to be in 2014
In 2014, the aim is to save £12k (or, any other amount if you like!) from 1st January 2014 til 31st December 2014. I know it's early, but it gives you the time to plan for how you are going to do it!

For me £12K is a good figure. I struggle to meet the target but, it IS a really good incentive to see how much you can stash away.0
-
Please can you put me down for £15k. I reckon I can do better, much better, than this year
