The "Save 12k in 2017" Thread!

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.

Just realised I havent submitted my totals since Feb - so just added the last 4 months worth to the sheet. Half way through and I'm on target for my £6k aim. Currently sitting at £3102.96. Still with the round numbers!

Very pleased with that

Congratulations slowly fading! Very exciting news :j

#186 declaring a total amount of £500.42 for June! A combination of needing new glasses and paying the full amount for our holiday to the Lake District in September meant that the bank balance took a hit! Next month should be much better as I'll get paid for last months overtime and will work more overtime this month :money:

Congratulations all! I can't believe it's the first of July already....

I haven't updated because I'm staying at my Mum's this week and the updated spreadsheet for my savings is at home in Suffolk. Some very impressive totals, well done everyone!

Hi no 121 reporting in had unexpected car and bike repairs this month so only managed £169.96. The good thing is I had the money already saved so I didn't need to borrow. You got to think of the positives &#55357;&#56841;
