My January total is £953.17 (form submitted).
I don't think I'll be able to save quite so much over the next couple of months but after that I should be able to build up more.0 -
So pleased with everyone's savings in Jan!0

Only saved £45.91 this month
January was a big spend month and to be honest a bit of a break from the intense amount of saving I did in the second half of 2018!

Some stonking savings being reported this month - well done everyone!
After last month's shock to the finances, we've had a much more straight-forward January with the usual post-xmas bills to pay off. There was also a works night out, which could have been costly but in the end cost a measly £5.80 as it was Happy Hour plus half-price meals for January! So reporting £1878.65 for January - just about on-track after month1.Save 12k in 2013-2014-2015-2016-2017-2018-2019-2020-2021-2022 - then early-retired.0 -
Well, despite a completely unnecessary and OTT purchase (new MacBook for £4k! :eek: ) I have managed to save £1189.43 this month. Doing pretty good so far.
I had to sell a lot of stuff to offset the purchase, so I won't be making £5k again in a month any time soon.Save £12k in 2019 #60 - £1189.43 / £12,000 (9.91%)0 -

Declaring January's figure as £3701.08. Could've done better on home food prep; started off well with homemade quiche and ended up with EAT and Pret because of lack of time - oh well."Save £12k in 2019" #120 - £100,699.57/£100,0000

Well done to everyone that has saved, it does not matter that you've not reached the intended target, the good news is that you are saving something, whether that's £10 or £500 - you are saving. Be positive and have a mindset that you need to save as much as you can, even if it's a £1 here and there it will total up, it's going to be a long 12 months, well make that 11 now, so there will be some highs and lows. Let's encourage each other to save.
Well done everyone. Keep up the savings!Save £12k in 2019 #154 - £14,826.60/£12kSave £12k in 2020 #128 - £4,155.62/£10k0
