The "Save 12k in 2020" Thread!

slowlyfading

So, the title is pretty self explanatory, but this is the place to be in 2020 it's that time of year, again!

In 2020, the aim is to save £12k (or, any other amount if you like) from 1st January 2020 til 31st December 2020. 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

Hi SlowlyFading

Please can I join in for 2020? Can you put me down for £15K - am aiming to pay off my car a year early around the end of 2020 and am saving up for a house deposit, as well as other sinking funds that I have. I have been saving around £1K per month so the challenge will be trying to find the additional £3K during the year. Am joining a number of challenges to help me be as frugal and money-saving as I can so I can achieve my goals in 2020.

Thanks
