September payday update: I've hit another milestone!

I saved £1,070 in September, that's £9,189 so far in 2018 and *drumroll* £130,922 overall.

:beer:

I'm going to treat myself to a little something to celebrate

#11 declaring £5,270.66 for September, total £35,129.12 for the year so far. It has been a good few months, but i'm not going to be able to save quite this much over the next few months - hope to hit £45k before the year is out though



Thanks SF, and well done to all

We have had a good month (for us), but I pinched a lump of the cash savings to chip a bit more away from the mortgage. It saves another couple of pounds a month in interest too (but I don't count this, as it is a reduction in outgoings rather than a saving as such). Just over £2000 in total. I might need to increase our target a bit

£2000 for September, a good element of which was my S&S ISA doing well so I can't take all the credit!

The next couple of months should be more expensive, with Christmas on the horizon and a flight to pay for, but I've already passed my target, so anything else is a bonus.

Three quarters of the way through the year already!

Reporting in for September with a huge £805.32, as my student loan installation came through, as well as full time earnings from August. Also put aside some cash for my car insurance in November.

A surprising result of £710 from me this month - apparently my new job pays differently to how I expected them to, but in a good way! I'm now back on track with full budgeting done for next month including medical-type bills, so if I didn't have those I'd be back to saving well over £1,000 per month which is where I want to be


In other news, rather unexpectedly, we're buying a house! Well, with my experience of trying and failing to purchase property I'm doing my best not to count it as a done deal as we're at such an early stage, so please keep your fingers crossed for us!


Only three months left of the year - where has it gone?!

Hi guys,

£0 saved for September, this won't matter as I'll be receiving more money in October which will make up for September

Everything crossed for you. I know you have reported some previous travails. It can be very stressful but if you can take a "Que Sera Sera" attitude it will help you
