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

Hi all!

I haven't been very diligent. Reporting a £2517.25 for months of April and May combined. What i noticed tracking my cash balance and net savings on a regular basis is the volatility of my spending. Most months I can go on a steady savings rate for 2-3 months then I will have a month of big expenditure, ie holiday etc.

Is that what others here are experiencing??

For the record, I will now have to bow out.

I saved and saved and saved and I acheived my goal of buying my own property. Now the money I had been saving is paying bills. Thanks for all your support over the last year or so and good luck!!

I've save for about £ 8k since January. As I must upgrade my Chervolet... then I guess my goal for a year should be 12k xD

Not sure what is going wrong with my totals - I didn't save £1400 in April, I think that might have been my overall total. The TOTAL AMOUNT SAVED is now £1,800 as of end of May. I am number #132. I will try to make it clearer on my June update. Sorry for any confusion.

Belatedly reporting 981.24 in May. So close to an extra digit but at least an improvement on April.
