Submitted my April total, it's not good but I was on holiday for a week. Well, that's my excuse.

You certainly can! Your challenge number is 191 can you give me specific savings amounts for each month so far so I can update the spreadsheet? Thanks

I've just split it up into 4 months so £370.27 per month if that makes sense I've split my amount by 9 months and this is the figure per month so so far this year I've saved £1481.11 and I'll keep my target of £5000 for the end of the year xx

As a collective group of people, so far, we have managed to save over £555,000 :j :j :j

How awesome is that?!

Sorry haven't updated! Current savings are £5500, bit ahead of schedule! Well done everyone, what a great bunch of savers on this thread! Wish I'd started saving like this years ago!

Declared £1,650 for April (sorry for the late update!). I have no idea how I managed to save so much last month, it came as a nice surprise when i added it all up

Target increased by £5,000 as I've hit my first one. Decided to include wedding savings rather than separate them out, just means I'm likely to declare a negative figure in July when the last bits are paid for. Will be ambitious but hope to have £25k saved in total by the end of the year.

Remember that you only live once... The young years are the best, you dont want to regret having been too frugal.

There isnt much you can do in retirement by having saved 65% that you cannot do if you have saved "only" 50% and enjoyed the ride along the way...

Agreed, but my lifestyle will have to compromise soon as I'm getting married lol

I do enjoy the ride mate but stuff just doesn't mean much to me at the moment

Eveing! Just popping in to declare £840 for April- I'm really chuffed with this as I've even had a short holiday to Devon with new clothes too!! Next few months will probably be quite tight but for now I'm pleased.
Hope everyone is where they want to be savings.

2170 for April was very hard and difficult.

That's what she said... - sorry... I had too.

Birthdays, weddings, anniversaries. May is proving to be as bad for saving as I expected so far.

But the work is rolling in, so my end of year lump should be good. Just not so great for the month-to-month this month.

OH wants me to ease up on myself and have fun. I already am! :undecided

Love is grand, but it's hard on the wallet, hard on the diet. :heartsmil:bdaycake:
