The "Save 12k in 2016" Thread!

Hi there.

Number 65 declaring for April. Managed to put by another £1000.00.

Not sure the rest of the year will be anything like as good re savings. I had two part time jobs but gave one up last week. Unfortunately it was the better paying job but it was driving me crazy and I'm feeling so much better now I don't have to face that unpleasant nonsense three days a week. Hopefully I will find a replacement but I don't expect that to be either easy or as well paid. My target's now looking a bit ambitious but I'll leave it as it is for now - more in hope than expectation but you never know.

Good luck and well done to everyone.

I am down this month as started paying for some things so not sure if I will increase any more.

Hola,
Well done to the overachievers!
As anticipated I did not put anything away in April. If anything, I spent more than I thought I would due to a couple of unplanned Friday nights in central London.
BUT, I can feel the tide turning finally. So not in May as I owe some money to the taxman/bank and I will still end the month overdrawn but perhaps I can get started with the savings in June if I can control myself.
Keep it up people!

Just been over everything checking the figures add up. Not sure how but across all the accounts I actually have £6,200. Not the £5,330.

No idea how thats worked out but thats what the numbers say so shan't complain!

Will update the spreadsheet accordingly.

PS.
Thanks SF.

Splashed out on a new phone today; bought it outright. Cost me £280.

For everything expensive that I buy these days, I note down how much overtime I will have to do to make it up.

Cheers to 12 hours of overtime:o

I can't remember if I've updated this thread at all this year, shocking! And apologies.


Below are the amounts I have saved so far this year:


Challenge member no 36
Jan £1,600
Feb £1,700
Mar £1,200
Apr £1,800


Also just realised I've not put a target yet! Target £12,000 please

We moved house in Feb so most of this money has actually gone on the deposit, removal costs and work on the house.


Im thinking I need to change my savings plan and open a S&S ISA but not sure where to begin!
