I love this sentiment. Please may I fill a gap too? I am 107 currentlySave £12k in 2025 #2 I saved £14,660.97 of £6000 or 244.35% of my target. The 2026 Save £12k in 2026 thread is here
OS Grocery Challenge in 2025 I finished the year at £2880.99/£3000 or 96.03% of my annual spend so I am sticking with a £3000 annual budget for 2026

(Happy for a lower number to fill gaps too!!)
Woah there!
Congratulations, and your new number is #38 0 -
Our total January overpayments are....
*drumroll*
£71,952.71 (unless there are a few more updates for January of course).
With that amount, we could already buy:
This rather colourful 2 bed house in Wales
OR:
A parking space in Farringdon
Either way, great start everyone! :heart2:0 -
