£676.32 saved for November - significantly less than previous months but it's a saving non the less, and with Christmas more or less paid for now I should be okay til the end of the year

# 48 declaring £200 for November. I will not meet this year's target but it won't be a massive shortfall, so am pleased with that.2

I think I'll make about 50% of my target this year. It was my first ever year 'saving' after paying off my debts at the end of 2019 so has been a bit of a learning process.
At the beginning of 2020 I was working a temporary job that was paying me huge (for me) money and I overestimated how much I could save. That job ended unexpectedly in February, luckily I was only out of work for a week and have been constantly employed ever since.
I set myself a target of £9,600 and at the end of November am up to £4,567. I have been using cash balance increases/decreases to calculate savings but pension contributions total £3,146 so if I included those I'd appear to be much closer to my target.Debt Free: 01/01/2020

#25 reporting in for November. Still on a rolling weekly contract so managed to save £1,679 for this month (form submitted). I've also bumped my target up to £15k as I expect December to be a good month.
I'm not sure I'll be able to say the same about January as I've got some bills coming up and I've not heard whether my contract will continue into 2021, so I might have to dip into my savings.
