The 'Save 12k in 2014' Thread!

115K

Hi, Just want to say that I am dropping out for this year as we are going to dip into our savings to redo our home a bit so I think staying with the challenge won't really make any sense.

I will probably be back next year if we all do it again.

A little late, I know, but I'm going to try saving hard for last three months of the year. I'm going to set myself a target of £4000 to reach by the end of 2014.

Hello savers!


I've just filled in the reporting spreadsheet for September.


£1700 saved this month


I hope to complete my target by the end of November, which will be good, as I'm retiring in December, and there probably won't be much saving going on for a couple of years!

Declaring £2708 for September. New total in savings is £13116:j:j. Off to update the spread-sheet.

Only £500 this month, it's been a very spendy one. Car tax, insurance, breakdown cover, service and MOT. Also £1500 for house painting and repairs requiring a scaffold. Luckily, a big chunk of that had been set aside in my Outgoings pot that I don't count as savings.

And I did something really reckless and spent £800 on a piece of secondhand jewellery, but I've had a bit of overtime and expenses that almost cover that .

I've got a nice weekend away coming up next week, but I've already pre-paid, so I can relax and enjoy it!

I had a very stingy month and saved £1400 in September, which brings my house deposit to 13.5K.


I'm new to this thread and just realised that you declare your savings for the month at the END of it and not the start! Doh. Obvious really..

Oh dear, sorry and my number is 108! I will get the hang of this..
