The 'Save 12k in 2013' Thread!

Having spent all my savings on a deposit for my new house (wooo hoo!) I reckon I am best waiting to start again next year. I have put a few pounds away in October, but it will be spent again shortly on repairs and decoration. Glad to hear folk are doing so well!

Well I'm stunned-have managed over £800 this month (lots of scrimping and saving and selling on fleabay). Roughly adding it all up I am £40 short of my target of £4500. New target of £5000 by Xmas eek. I am soooo in love with saving!

Well done all, big or small it's all fantastic!

hello all im new here im currently £1600 in debt and looking to save £1500 by the end of the year. I set up a savings account with halifax and looking to bank around 500-600 a month. I am only 19 and saving this money to buy a new car in March/April. I will keep you updated.

Good to hear that everyone is doing well .

Not been able to save anything recently, and have in fact had to eat into my savings, thanks to starting a new job, moving down to London and renting a flat. Life in London sure is expensive! Still managed to save £2182.67 this year so far, which beats my original target, so I'm pleased about that . Going to aim for £3500 savings this year, as that would take my total savings/investments to £10k, which would be a great milestone, and I think is achievable .

Just coughed up £3k of savings on a new drive. Two steps forward, one step back!

Payday today :j

£3530 added to my october figures. Will submit my form later on.
Signature updated to reflect.

Well done to all those on track or exceeded target. In fact well done to anyone who has been able to save anything this year. A little is better than nothing and at least it's not debt!

hi, I'm very late to the party here, given that it's nearly November, but I wonder if I could join in with a goal of saving £1,500 by the end of 2013? ... Just to give a bit of history, I used to be on these forums a lot a few years ago when I had card debts, but then left. I've subsequently managed to become debt-free, then had a few years clear of debt but not saving much either. Now I'd like to save some proper money and also become mortgage-free asap. The target will be pretty tough for me as it will leave me with about £30 a week for food, loo paper and other household bits and bobs, which might seem a lot but it's less than I'm used to spending. *embarrassed face*

Adding £1,115.78 to my total this month! Only £1,271 to go until I reach my target, definitely on track now.
