The "Save 12k in 2016" Thread!

Ashers92

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!

The dreaded MOT, insurance and service month, still managed to save £1000 for May.

Reporting April: -£214.42, meaning I'm -£714.45 for the year... hmmmmm
I think I'll be a way off the target this year! It's partly due to paying off a credit card I'd used for stoozing, and buying various tickets and things where people will pay me back over the year. Might be back in black in May if I'm really lucky but more likely to be June at the earliest! At least the savings I already have are now in the high interest current accounts doing some work

Ooo and I should get a bit of overtime payment at the end of May too - just remembered (it's been delayed) - hurray!
