The "Save 12k in 2017" Thread!
slowlyfading
Posts: 13,429 Forumite
So, the title is pretty self explanatory, but this is the place to be in 2017 
In 2017, the aim is to save £12k (or, any other amount if you like!) from 1st January 2017 til 31st December 2017. I know it's early, but it gives you the time to plan for how you are going to do it!
