    I would like to join please, please set my target at £12,000.

    At the present moment that is quite ambitious, but I'm hoping/expecting a pay rise in 2016 so I'm positive that the target is achievable!

    Thanks in advance for running such a great idea SF :)

    Thanks for running this again SF. I was #25 on the 2015 thread and am hoping to reach target on payday����

    I am aiming for £15000 for 2016. Will be aiming to save In the following accounts

    £500 per month in stocks and shares isa £6000
    £500 per month in new Nationwide Flexclusive regular saver @ 5% opened yesterday
    £250 per month in TSB regular saver opened in November so that will finish November 2016.

    So a total of £1250 per month. Going to be tough!!!

    Could I please join in with a small target of £1200?


    It's a small amount but represents 10% of my current annual income.
