I have managed £717 this month and am very happy with that :j

I can't believe that at the half way point I have save £4,689 and only have £1,311 to go :T

This challenge has definitely motivated me to do better than i would have so huge thanks to slowlyfading for that :beer:

Well June has been a traumatic month hasn't it? Unexpected referendum result and political resignations majorly affecting stock markets - luckily I've only got a tiny no. of shares, so I'm not too worried about it. However in the longer term we are considering buying a small property overseas, so I hope the Pound recovers by then!

Savings have gone fairly well this month, although I stumped up a wedge of cash for our extended family to go see no.2 son appearing in a musical at our local theatre. Also had some unexpected bills for car tyres and brakes, but they've gone on the credit card so won't actually get paid until August. Declaring £2406.01 for June (yes, I am including pennies!).

3 years 3 months to go until FIRE (financial independence, retire early)

Happy saving everyone.

My house purchase completed last month and I have some savings left....phew....still aiming for £5000 by the end of the year and will be updating monthly from now on

£2500/£5000

£2,992.15 for the month. Down on last month slightly.

Now almost 3/4 the way to my target set at the start of the year & I've now set a new target of trying to reach £40k total savings by the end of the year which I'll round up to a target of £30k for this thread.

Yes I was amazed to read that too. Luckily I am with Cavendish or I would move too. Hargreaves is expensive. Look at Cavendish or Charles Stanley

Hi everyone - well June has been a disastrous month for me, savings wise. I have had to dig quite deeply into my savings which I really hate to do, but could not be helped. My balance is £6.700 #176. I am hoping for a better July.

Morning all, no. 11 here declaring £1886.42 for the month, bringing my savings so far this year to £13,159.98.

Slowly, hope all is well with you. I think I made a mistake on my update for June (I'm number 101). The total of my savings for June is £9170, simply because a friend repaid a loan made over five years ago and I got my pension lump sum.

Hope you and yours are well.
