The "Save 12k in 2017" Thread!

darkidoe

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.

#30 checking in with my FIRST £200 of 2017! IM off and running, no stopping me now....the £12k will be a big ask now but il give it a go!!

Paid off £5k+ of debt this year so i suppose if i was counting that id be nearly half way there.

#129 declaring £0 for May:(

Bloody. Awful. Month.

Expensive due to anticipated car-related expenses but then we had a power cut and when the power came back on it blew the thermostat in the fridge. As the fridge was in the house when we bought it and it was old, we decided to replace it.

So, this months savings have gone on a fridge.

Mind you, I was ahead on the savings anyway so I bought myself a bit of wiggle room there. I wasn't supposed to hit the half way mark until the end of June and I'm past that.

Onwards and upwards

Happy June everyone

Should of been a good saving month for us, but Center Parc's holiday took bit more money away than anticipated.... also going to Alton Towers on Wednesday so more money gone; but guess you have to live a little . I hope to save a grand this month, will take me to 7k then.

Ill update on week 3 .

Keep pushing everyone, best of luck!! Xx

All you need to do is say how much you've saved in a month - anything you update on the form is what I enter into the spreadsheet.
