I recieved interest from a regular saver that I forgot was maturing so that's an additional £119.68 declared for this month. Brining my total now to £14750 for this year and £23000 overall in two years of doing this challenge. :j

#72 here checking in with £399.90 for this month. Not bad for over Christmas. Takes my 2016 total to £5550.56, not too far short of my £6k target.

It was always supposed to be a stretch, and given the major change in financial circumstances I had halfway through the year, pretty pleased to have come anywhere near my target.

Hi Everyone

Final post of 2016 - and reporting £1,631.31 for December. A bit less than expected, but we have got a couple of hols booked now for January and March, so still pretty good.

That gives a total saved in 2016 of £24,641.13 - 98.56% of a pretty challenging target - and a net savings rate of 67.23%.

And 33 months until FIRE.

See you on the 2017 thread.

FINAL POST. My final figure is £8,000. I am very happy with that. £4,000 off what I was hoping for, but my circumstances changed, so not complaining. #176

Congrats to all those who are still here in December and to all those who have completed/exceeded their target.

Huge thanks to slowly fading for the thread/updates. I have smashed my original target for this year and even exceeded my revised target. I am sure it is in large part down to the motivation that this challenge has given me.

I am declaring £3,181 for December so this brings me to a total of £11,615. I am amazed with this as I originally set my target for £6,000 and hoped I could manage that.
