The "Save 12k in 2019" Thread

slowlyfading

So, the title is pretty self explanatory, but this is the place to be in 2019 it's that time of year, again!

In 2019, the aim is to save £12k (or, any other amount if you like) from 1st January 2018 til 31st December 2019. I know it's early, but it gives you the time to plan for how you are going to do it. Please comment on the thread to sign up and any plans you might have to hit your aim!



It would be nice if people felt they could chat about their savings challenges through the months, as it probably will help other people too
