The 'Save 12k in 2014' Thread!

TrustyOven

Going to declare £514.22 tomorrow or on Monday. I need to add my cash ISA interest onto that, hopefully get that tomorrow or Monday, and hopefully be another £6.

Included in the above is £140 I put into my first ever Stocks & Shares ISA portfolio. (should I be including investments in these posts?)

Didn't save as much as I wanted, but not too bad given the car tax was due.

NPower credited me £109.37 for being in credit and I made £14.29 in eBay sales.

Still waiting for £107 of work expenses, and next month's pay would be a bit larger due to allowance during a business trip.

And of course the new tax-free allowance helps a bit

I'm amazed and really pleased that everyone's doing really well. :beer:

£1270 this month for me. Next month is hopefully bonus month so I'll hopefully aim for slightly more if we get it.

Sorry, I don't really know how to work the spreadsheets.

Another £150 to add, making £220 / £1,000. I know this is not exactly impressive but I've really tried this month.

Hey, every penny counts, and you did really good, especially when you look at how much debts you've managed to repay (in your signature). :j

You should be really pleased :cool:

Nothing this month. Got loads of car bits to pay out but that frees me up for future months. I have a savings plan updated and should still manage the 12k.

Hoping my expenses claim comes through soon enough so I can add something in May.... Fingers crossed

I've added in another £500 in to my ISA for April, so total now stands at £2574. I don't think £500 is too shabby - I also paid for our holiday in August this month! We're only going to the Isle of Wright, but means we can take our dog with us, and we can get away for a bit. Looking forward to it, I've not been since I was a kid, and hubby has never been. :-)

I opened the ISA this tax year (I transferred my other money from e-savings into the ISA for better interest rates) and it counts for this new higher limit they've now got on ISAs... Maybe I will actually hit my savings target of £6000 for the year!!!

Spreadsheet updated

I won't put my figure in til Wednesday, as I'm hoping to sweep some more across every little helps!

There's lots of members still to give updates, if people could give them a nudge, that'd be great

I'm still at the same amount. A couple of emergencies have wiped out this month's savings.
