The "Save 12k in 2016" Thread!

Good job I have already reached target for 2016 as I am reporting a big fat zero for September

We have replaced our laptops, installed a new boiler, helped our elder daughter out who is moving house and OHs overtime has not been paid. Next month will be a bumper month though as OH gets his final pay including bonus and the month after that he gets his pension lump sum although I don't think I should declare that as it is just a transfer from pension into savings. We also have to buy a car next month or month after.

Just £300 away from hitting my target for this year, Which I should be able to do in October!

Reporting £823 for August.

HTB ISA - £200
Sharesave plan - £223
S&S ISA - £400

Submitted my August figure to the google s/s.

A few outgoings (MOT, minor car repair, Tottenham tickets) has resulted in a lower figure this month. Reporting only £423 for September.

HTB ISA - £200
Sharesave plan - £223

Submitted to the google s/s.

That update takes me to: £8,002.38/£12,000.00 (67%)

September update!


It's a big one. I had a really lucky windfall this month so I'm declaring £5,133 for September, £11,582 so far in 2016 and £106,789 overall!

Hello all,

I've just came across this thread as before, my target was to get rid of my debt. Now that I'm debt free (as of today) I need to start saving as I want to buy my first house next year.

I LOVE a good spreadsheet and I was super impressed with how organised this is.

Am I too late to join? Even if I made my target for the remaining 2 months? If not, it's ok. I'll save for now and start in January.

Well done on becoming debt-free! :beer:


Welcome to the thread. You don't need to wait, just set yourself a target for the remainder of 2016 and jump right in

Looks like people are doing pretty well over here

My September update is £581.79 (form re-submitted - sorry SF!). Another not great month - I'm still paying off this car service loan (it would have been over £800 otherwise) - but my new unofficial target is £300 into my First Direct regular saver and £200 into my HtB ISA and anything else is excellent. Definitely won't be hitting my target now but trying to mitigate the damage!
