October savings = £1,134.68
This takes my total to £14,932 which is 99% of the way there! Iv been taking my monthly saving on pay day so always been a bit early! But i am aiming to save about £2k more than my target at end of the year.
This thread has been so helpful in getting me to focus on saving more and iv noticed the 2 months iv not monitored my savings, iv spent on average 20 - 30% more. Shows how when you 'forget' what you are spending, you spend so much more and on stuff you dont need!
Keep going guys!Save £12k in 2020 = £4,074.62/£15,000 (27.2%) #89

£700 from me...
Had some issues with maturing regular savers and credit cards that need paying off.
Every penny counts after all
