The "Save 12k in 2017" Thread!

kittenkicks

Hi all, no 075 checking in with March's total. Managed to save £1,324.16 during March, which I'm pleased with. April is going to be a struggle though with a very expensive hen do to pay for plus a holiday.

Over 48k away from my 100k target which makes me feel a little disheartened as that a really long way to go, it's taken me 7 years to save what I have so far so 48k feels like a lifetime away, I also don't want to be slaving away at a job I don't like for years on end just to reach it...

Proud to be squirreling away though!

no 121 reporting in only £295 saved for March more than I expected with daughters wedding last weekend and that's after I paid the credit card bill. Hope to do better for the rest of the year and catch up a bit. Well done to everyone.

Saver 141 here! Announcing £299.58 for March. That's over £1200 for the year so far, which is amazing for me! Off to fill out my form now.

Just got some good news about a pay rise as well so will hopefully be able to put a bit more away (or finally consider a new car... decisions!).

Congrats to everyone on another great month of saving!

£255 saved this month as we've just returned from a last minute holiday to the Canary Islands

Total saved so far is just £309.41, not on target at the moment but I'm hoping to catch up towards the end of the year...

Update on 128 savings.... £600 for March only!!


Hey guys been off the forum for a bit.... manic few months which meant I have only managed to save £600 since January. This is mainly down to car insurance being due, excess on my motorbike after wiping it out and booking the annual holidays so not much progress on the savings front..... On the up side I shouldn't have anything else to pay out this year and my bonus is paid out at work at the end of April so this should help in bringing up my savings and allowing me to get hard at it!!


Happy savings folks!!

Hi everyone,

A late update to the forum yet again - although I did remember to send through my update form!

I think I managed to save £350 this month (can't remember off the top of my head!) which I'm actually quite pleased with considering it was my boyfriend's birthday & we had a surprise visitor to stay!

I definitely over-spent in March, but I'm keen to keep a clear eye on my outgoings this month. Whilst I haven't saved perhaps the figures I had in mind when I started the challenge, I think it's been such a great focus and I'm hoping going forward I can better my savings.

Hope everyone is having a great month so far :j
