The 'Save £12k in 2012' thread!

HelenPie

Hello, I'd like to join in if I may?

I need to save £11k by June :eek: for our wedding and then am focusing on debt busting, but hope I'll be able to save another £1000 after that so please put me down for the full £12k

Hi,

Can you sign me up for £8,000. I think the full £12k will be just too much!

Thanks,

Well, I'm not really sure this is much of a method or a plan but I've got drawn up a 4 year financial budget for myself (2011-2014) which tells me what I can spend on everything. As it stands, I can afford the £1000 monthly saving and the budget doesn't include extra income like mystery shopping, expense claims etc so hopefully I can earn a little more.

Good luck for reaching your goal!

Hi All.

SLOWLYFADING - please could you change mine to £5k??? I am member 035.x

I have decided that I want to clear as much debt as possible while also saving for a couple of things. So I think £5k is realistic and will keep me more focused. Sorry to be a pain! :A

Cutting back and saving on everything we can as well as having a good de-clutter. All of ours will go on overpayments on the mortgage. Just did some sums and if we over pay every month for the next 6 years we will pay our mortgage off 7 years early and save nearly £7k in interest - wow!!! Can we keep it up though????? Probably not but I should get pay rise next year and a bonus of £1K hopefully from a course I did as an incentive. So we will try our hardest.
