The "Save 12k in 2017" Thread!

Gem-gem

Hi All,

Thought I was going to have a really good month but then ended up buying my husband's 60th birthday present for next year - a holiday. Plus had to pay for the final installment of our holiday later on in the year.
So no increase in savings for me. £0
Have said to hubby that have spent a lot of money on holidays recently - which I do not regret one bit - got to do it why we are young enough to do it (and the insurance isn't too expensive). But after this holiday and his birthday, I now need to get my head down and save again.
The last three months of the year will be better.

Apologies; I didn't realise how long it was since I had last done it I've been really busy launching my first course on my blog which has taken me much longer than I thought it was going to take! It's all about reducing your food spend so I'm hoping it'll help people

Ready to declare for October as all my monies have been transferred to their savings homes:):j

£500 Regular Saver
£500 ISA
£200 P2P

Total for October: £1200
Total for 2017: £5450

As I am now well above my original target, could I please change it to £8000 for the year please Slowly? Thanks:D

I can't wait to do this for 2018!! I began saving regularly in July and am so far happy with my total! I do wish I had been a bit more careful with my money rather than spending it on booze and nights out (I'm 19) but as they say it's better late than never!

Congrats on figuring that out by age 19 but don't go all scrooge - you are allowed to enjoy yourself until you're 21, not a day longer though
