The "Save 12k in 2020" Thread!

katsu

I've done a review of our finances and opened some new Regular Savers (the thread for this is fabulous). As we recycle our existing savings I will have to think about how I track our new savings.

We are still getting back on our feet after redundancies so I'm really pleased to be welcoming in 2020 on a somewhat more stable financial footing.

Today I ordered vitamins via topcashback, and used a 3for2 and money off offer. Only a few pence in cashback I would think but every little helps there. They were effectively free really as I paid with money earnt via topcashback. Is that a perfect money saving cycle?

I'm being more proactive about claiming and redeeming points/cashback etc as soon as possible after earning them, to save my actual money.

Here's to all our successes in 2020!

Here we go again! It’s a New Year, new number of #31 with a new target of £40,000. First set of payments made this morning and the FIRE funds have been increased by a respectable £8,500. I will submit the form when it becomes available. Good luck to all and thanks to SF for running this challenge again.

Hi, long time lurker.

My target is 30K, which will be profit from Stocks&Shares ISA&SIPP.

However, could be a loss like 2018.

Thanks,

1st of the month today so Ive already included my monthly regular saver plus I just had an email from NS&I that my folks had given me some premium bonds (technically for christmas but im going to include it as i found out today!) Plus Im selling my old car this week so will chuck that into my lifetime ISA by the end of the week so that will be a brilliant start!
