The 'Save 12k in 2014' Thread!

Nichelette

I've just added my July update - a bit over £600 which takes me over the 8k mark . I still have 5 paydays left til the end of the year so I'm slightly ahead of target, and our new pay deal went through this month so I should be able to save 1k for August. I'm really going to try and plug away to exceed the 12k mark.

I just updated my June & July and all still track. (Sorry for slacking SF I thought I had already done June.)


We're past the halfway mark for the year and some really great numbers racking up. Well done everyone! :T

hi - just popping by also to say sorry for not sending updates for June and July and I will do so soon as. There has been a lot on, I've been away and other stuff has happened too, but I haven't forgotten MSE I'll work out the numbers this week.

I have just got given a promotion at work - which involves a significant salary increase and bonus.

Instead of spending my bonus's I think I might just treat it as an extra bit of my salary and save it... Quite excited about it all :-)

Really pleased I found this thread. Having just become DF I feel a bit lost as not sure I can still have a diary in DFW land. I want to start saving the money I was using on debt and this thread seems like a great place to hang out - hope that's ok with all of you.


I will officially join the challenge next year but would like to save £3,000 by midnight 31 December 2014


You are all doing really well and its motivating to read your figures. I cant start saving until payday on 21st as that's the first time I wont be repaying debt!

Thank you. Already trying to scrape pennies together so that I can say I have saved something

LAM - what a truly remarkable achievement. At that rate you will be streaking past us all with your savings efforts! Good luck to you.

Hello all,

I too have been incredibly bad at updating during the last couple of months - I am sorry!

I have been saving still though and managed £550 in May, £2,050 in June and £1,150 in July. I have updated my signature and am just under three quarters of the way to reaching my target.

I have 5 months left to save the remaining ~£3,500 I need to hit my goal for 2014. Thanks to Slowlyfading for updating (even if I am seriously late!) and a massive well done to everyone who is still saving and working their way to their goal. I know reading all the other posts helps keep me motivated!

Until August...:D
