    #56 with £2,648.24 for May, total of £9,890.93 for the year so far. Due to a slow start to the year i'm lagging a bit behind target, June's going to be another good month but hitting £30k by year-end will be a big ask. Not too worried though, was always going to be a tough goal so getting anywhere near will be good :)
    You're not number 56, you're number 69.

    Number 59 signing in for May with £1,107. This is better than expected as I had a few expected outgoings but I managed to tighten the purse strings to balance them out. Happy saving all!

    Hello, I don't know if I will be able to save 12k this year as I don't have a job but I do get DLA and money for birthdays/Christmas that I ask for.

    I have had a problem with gambling which has now stopped and at the moment i have £573 in my account. My DLA money comes in 12th June and I aim to put 160 in my account so I should have over £700 and then £60 pound rain money for a month but I may put in more then £160. I just feel I need to have a savings plan to know what I am definitely putting in my account
