The "Save 12k in 2017" Thread!

Gem-gem

Good evening all.
It's that time of the month again when I pay myself.

£500 - regular saver 1
£500 - regular saver 2
£250 - regular saver 3
Total £1250
Money removed to pay for next instalment for holiday to Canada £1000
Total saving £250
Happy that it is still a positive amount being saved.

Sound plan Richy! I have a fervent dislike of debt as well. Get rid of it!

Monthly savers all topped up to £1000 still unemployed so living off savings but still able to save my rental income. Really nice to see such good figures coming in.

I still haven't managed to save anything in April so pleased that overall I was slightly ahead of target. Will try to make it up to £4k when I get paid at the end of the month, but I've had the unexpected cost of having to buy a new to me car because of changes on the job front.

Hi

#85 reporting nothing. We didn't put anything away in March due to vet bills for what was basically a melodramatic dog with an itchy foot! An insurance claim has gone in for the treatment so we should get a chunk of it back so hopefully my April total will make up for it somewhat.

Bit late for March - but £1219 - just £640 off the magical £100,000 deposit mark.

how old are you? any other assets like properties and investments?

A bit late submitting my March total, I've altered my (hopeful) savings for the year from £2500 to £8000.

I was saving to have the driveway done this Autumn, nothing special just paviers and tarmac but it will make the place look a lot tidier. Had a couple of quotes/estimates, they landed at 27k and 32k a bit more than I hoped. I may have to wait a little longer before it's done

Hi, I know it's a little late bit I would love to join, I'm running April to April so on month one but dividing my target of 30k by 3/4's gives me a target of 22500 by the end of december. Target is for first time buyer mortgage so committed 100%!.

I know I'm incredibly late but I would like to join too, if possible! We're getting married next year and need to save around £12,000 by next June so I'm going to try for £10,000 by December.
