The "Save 12k in 2019" Thread

Im not sure if I declared for March or not - Only £250 saved into my Virgin regular saver as it matured today, so was my last payment, and will make an appointment to cash it in, which will give me some much needed pennies to continue while i'm waiting for my work issue to sort out.

Only £300 into savings this month. I loaned someone £300, meant to be getting it back next month, where hopefully I will bank £800, but depends on how reliable they are. Will update the sheet now.

Submitted the totals for my January, February and March - up to 42.8% for the year to date, well ahead of target, but that included some one-offs; had an unexpected bonus from work as well as a tax refund of fees paid over the past 4 years. The remainder of the year should see me hopefully hit my target.

Well done everyone!

#157 reporting £1948.77 for March. Managed a better total than expected due to getting paid extra for some part-time lecturing and overtime and some tax relief for my wife from opening a SIPP. Total for April and May will be far less and may even go into minus territory with holidays to pay for, but a good start these first 3 months.

Just popping in to say that I saved £0 this month! Lots of paying for holidays and big bills... next month isn't looking great either, but it goes like that sometimes. Hopefully some upcoming months will make up for it

I'm going to be extra careful with my money this month. Thankfully I have some vouchers I can use for clothes etc. for my upcoming holiday. Going to use those at the weekend to make my normal salary money stretch a little further this month.

£1,443.39 for April. Low month for me as I’d spent quite a bit in March.

Still on overall target. I should have saved £13,333 by now and I’m on £14,076 as a total.

However I’ll have a big tax bill to pay at some point this year which will put me below target and I’ll need to catch up.

Number 172.... Not understanding why none of my totals have gone up yet? Have submitted all the forms with the right info.... Do I have to do something?

Hello,

I was just wondering if I could join this thread? I have been recieving daily email alerts since January.

Could I make my savings target 10k please? I can add in my savings amounts for January and Feb, last month didn't manage to save anything with a few big bills going out!

Thanks

You have to have a little patience. The spreadsheet is not automatic, it is manually updated by the lovely slowlyfading, and she has a lot of other plates to keep spinning. SF usually posts on the thread once the spreadsheet has been updated.

#147 sloping in to declare £1933.63 for March. I’ve no idea how this happened as was heading for a lean month-2 months of council tax helped though, as did squirrelling away my change.

New tax year fast approaching so will have to make some plans.
