The "Save 12k in 2017" Thread!

bobobski

I've been pretty absent from MSE for the last month but I'm so pleased to come back to so many positive updates

A better month for me: £1,325.97 saved in total for June. Sadly this is because the house purchase has stalled - basically nothing useful has happened since the bad valuation last month - but at least it means I'm continuing to save! Here's hoping July brings less saving and more problem resolution

Anyway, this puts me at £6,294.83 so far for 2017, which is above the half way line

Dear Slowly Fading - congratulations on your happy news!

No 44 reporting in with a very pleasing £3,321.32 this month, £500 RS, £250 SS and the rest is my work bonus so the good month I was hoping for happened!

So that is £6,600 towards my target of £7,500. Now to pretend it's not there so I can't spend it frivolously!

I have £798 to log for June. Amazed that I am very close to my target after just half the year has passed.

So proud of everyone on here who is doing so well

Here is to a fantastic second half of the year to us all .

Reporting £1758.62 for June. Quite pleased with that as we've done a ton of stuff in the garden this month - I suspect next month's credit card bill may suffer though. Well done to everyone to getting halfway... keep going

And many congrats to SlowlyFading, fantastic news!

Declaring for June.

Total balance across all accounts: £19,328.47
Last month's ytd amount: £5,674.43

Amount saved this month: £702.75
Amount saved ytd: £6,380.68
Still to save: £5,619.32

So I'm pretty much halfway there at the halfway point. My mortgage overpayment plan is going well and for what it's worth I'd be well on my way to £12k savings were i not pursuing that, but seeing my mortgage amount decrease is just as addictive as watching my savings rise! Given the plan to pay down the debt, it's likely I won't hit my £12k, because it's hard to do both at the same time. But I'm doing my best and will get as close as I can!

Noooooo! Just realised I'm £500 out. I forgot about Ford Money, because I don't have an app for that. Which makes me a bit closer than I thought. Never mind. I'll add it to next month's balance.
