The "Save 12k in 2016" Thread!

There_Is_a_Light

Light checking in on a very special day as of today I am officially DEBT FREE:beer:

As the CC was on a 0% I felt that I could start my savings journey until the term ends on the 0%

Declaring my savings figures for March £1725.94 making a total to date of £5154.40

I am starting a diary on the DFW as of tomorrow to track my journey to total financial independence which I am aiming to achieve before I am 50 (2022).

Hi all, I'm declaring a pretty decent £1363.30 for March, although I don't seem to be quite on track for my target as yet. Due to an imminent holiday I'm not expecting a huge amount to be saved this month either!

Some good news however; it appears that I somehow overpaid last year's Council Tax by nearly £500. How I didn't notice this happening I'm not sure, though it was quite a nice surprise when I opened the letter! As Seafoam said - it's the little things.

Happy saving!
