Well done everyone. It's really encouraging reading what people have saved!Single, FTB -- Property purchased Aug 2019 -- 'Save £12k in 20xx' -- Total Saved: xxk0 -
Hi Everyone
I'm declaring for February. All extra income from dog walks and house sits and a couple of regular saving accounts - plus the little Ernie win = £3604.98. So that's my 2 best months of the year (I expect anyway).
Hi Slowlyfading I think I may have messed up my update and used the 2012 template just now - sorry if I have. Perhaps you could check for me - I number 71.
Thank you and well done everyone. Let's make March about money!0 -

Some people will have a higher take home, so they can put more into savings, some others on their include pension and mortgage payments in their totals.
That said this thread is about saving what you can, in relation to your income, its 12k as its a number (goal) to work against.
You tell Slowlyfading your number you want as your goal, and away you go, even if it £5 a week its still saving, which is a step in the right direction.
Although its always suggested to pay off any debts before saving, you don't mention any debt, so keep that in mind.
