    Hi Slowlyfading,


    Thank you for choosing to run this again.


    Currently No55 on the 2015 version.
    I would also like to join for 2016 as 2016 will definitely be a challenging year financially. Please put me down for a £6000 target.

    Hi SF can I join again please?

    I'd like to go for £6000 this time as I am going to have a slight drop in income next year due to my Mum having paid back everything she owes me, so no monthly income from that!

  • relooked finances,ive budgeted for 10k a year 2016


    Just doing Vanguard LifeStrategy 60% Equity Accum isa,monthly investment saving from now on.


    its so much easier automatic,was amazed when I sold last year how easy it was t sell/withdrawn within a week,yourself online.


    checking cash isa savings rates does my head in.

    Oh I'm really pleased you're doing this again SF! I thought that with a new baby it would be a bit too much. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into it. It's helped me so much, it really has. I can't believe how much I've saved this year.
    So long as people are okay with it not being updated every other second, I can manage :)
    Great, I'm 007 - Licence to Save! :D
    Haha, excellent!

    Spreadsheet updated :) it's nice to see lots of familiar faces signing up again!

    Please make a note of your challenge numbers - they are probably not the same as last year.
