Thanks

No. 22 here declaring £1,958.09 for October. This despite my car failing its MOT and needing a bit of work. I am kicking myself for all the money I must have been wasting all these years! I never knew I had it in me to save money properly like this. I had another good month on eBay/Amazon, which helped.

Me too! I wish I'd started in my early 20s. This thread has completely changed me. It's better late than never though..

Reporting £2219.57 for October, despite paying for the annual car MOT and service, so happy with that. Great to see so many people staying the course at this stage in the year - not far to go now!

Adding £300 to my October amount from my sealed saving pot, which I opened today. This leaves only £20 to reach my target for this year :j

Form submitted and signature updated.

End of the month update. I've managed £1,682.96 for October which takes me to 83.6% of my target for 83.3% of the year. I'm very pleased with how it's going and that I'm still on target!

Well done again everyone, fantastic work. Together we've collectively saved approaching £1.2million!

Should we start taking guesses for the end-of-year total?

I totally agree. I wish that I could go back and talk to younger self. All those unnecessary spends on books, videos, DVDs, and 'stuff' that I have since sold, all that saving that I could have done between the ages of 18-24. (I went to uni at 24 and came out debt free - 4 years later but had to work hard when not studying). I was more focused after uni due to house buying, but there was still room for improvement, which could have made a difference to my savings pot.
