Save £12k in 2020;
can I join please? This is the first year I’m able to save anything after being silly in my 20s and 30s. I’ve repaid all my debt and now funnily enough the year I’ve turned 40 I feel I’ve finally grown up and I’m ready to save.

Thanks and sorry to mess you about!
Annual target £24000
Please put me down for £7,000 for 2020.
I’m a really good saver, but I just got a bit too frugal and in effect, stopped living, really.
The aim is £550 or thereabouts a month.
2019 didn’t go as planned but hoping to do a little better this year!

Aw, that's a shame, DesertRose, I hope this thread gives you a better balance. We're a helpful and friendly lot
Saving gives us a more, not fewer, options for a fuller life, but it is easy to get a bit carried away with savings targets and miss never-to-recur opportunities now.
