The 'Save £12k in 2012' thread!

eviekins

Not long til we can all get started! Although as I'm self employed I will have to pay my tax in January, and also have my car insurance + MOT up for renewal. Not a great start to the year, but I'm still hoping to save something! Fingers crossed!

Just wondering if you can put me down for this, i'm afraid it won't be the full 12k, but it's motivated me to save what i can...:), hopefully i can save half that.

cheers

So what do want your target as? £6,000?

After crunching some numbers I think £12k may be a bit high for me but I am gonna stick with it and not reduce my target.

Aim for the moon and you may land in the stars and all that.......

Bought 3 sealed pots today from p0und land so I can save £2 coins and loose change throughout the year. :money: These little bits can add up quite quick. The 3rd one is for my £1/day Christmas 2012 savings.;)

I'm still looking for a home for my savings, will probably be an ISA in April as I have about £800 of debts to shift yet (HP).

Hi there ladies and gentlemen....can I join in too? I've been reading the forums for a while and feel this is a fantastic challenge to jump right into and give it my best shot. My life has done a 360 in the last year and this is something which will help focus me. MSE seems like such a supportive community. Can you count me in for the full wack? xx

HI
Can I join?

Never posted before, although had Light bulb moment a couple of years ago having found this site. This forum has persuaded me though.

Will be debt free (apart from mortgage that started in July) 28/3/12 (unless get bonus/OT in jan or feb so will be earlier) thanks to this site and the forums.

can't believe i managed to get rid of it!

I can't afford 12k but think i can manage 5k.

Can i join?

Can you believe that's the first time I've heard that saying?

It's lovely...think I'll need to find an excuse to use it!
