The "Save 12k in 2015' Thread!

Gem-gem

Went and opened a regular saver yesterday - 4% kent reliance. I will be putting £500 a month from my salary into this each month and then transfer it into my NISA next March. My 5% account is finishing next month have got to make a decision about what I am going to do with it.
Still looking at NISAs. probably going to lock most of my savings away for 2 years but for no longer.

Unfortunately another week of just the "compulsory" £30 for me.

Think I'm going to struggle a bit this month. Put £250 into my regular saver, if I can get another £100 I'll be chuffed. Scraping the eBay barrel now too!

Reporting £600 for March, still got some pesky debts to clear, plus an unexpected weekend in Ireland last weekend for 6 nations.

Will hopefully ramp up in Q3/4 to get to goal.

Thanks SF for your efforts

I have sent £250 pootling off towards the Isa today - not my final result for March quite yet though. Am hoping for a bit over and above as we are drawing close to the end of the tax year and I haven't filled the Isa to capacity yet.

March is looking to be my best month so far; I'm looking at just over £700 before a potential bonus from work.

Just opened up a HSBC Advance account to get the Save Together benefit; which will be an extra £10 a month. Looking forward to the first payment from that.

I need to get the most out of this month as possible as my credit card is taking a hit this month; with car's MOT + road tax; OH's birthday; plus potential holiday payment I'm not sure I'm going to be able to save anything next month.

I have a feeling March is going to be a horrible saving month for me! On Saturday morning a friend caught just the edge of our garden wall with his van and..........four feet of wall came tumbling down! Clearly this is a case of a weak wall and it must be rebuilt entirely!

Hi, can you count me in. I really need to get more focused and this might be it. I was originally hoping to save £15,000 this year, but that might be pushing it too much, so ill try £12k. I have £4,000(ish) saved so far.

Wow some really good figures, £4k plus already is brilliant!!

I did the same, enthusiastic! It was a simple plumping for something people seemed to be happy with, as I was in danger of being paralysed by choice! . I don't think I'll be putting the full £15k in this coming year as I am putting most my savings into a AVC to take as cash when I retire (and will reinvest in S&S then).

I know what you mean by paralysed by choice. It is a real minefield for those of us who are novices, which I am. I have spent years being frightened of investing and have made a real effort to read everything I can about risk but only just touched the surface . Good idea on the AVC. How far away from retirement are you?
