I managed to save £829.31 in February 🙌 given last year I was only saving £100 a month I’ve really turned things around and I’m enjoying updating my spreadsheet to keep track of my spending. It’s really helping me stay on track and I think twice before I buy something now. Hope to save more next month as long as my car doesn’t need expensive repairs 😬🤞4

#16 Reporting £1100 for Feb

Reporting £1908.09 for February, although it's a good job this figure ignores changes in my Vanguard ISA because that is £800 DOWN this week, ugh. Good job I'm taking a long-term view on this, 10+ years, so it's a good test of character to see if I can ignore what the stock market is doing right now.
Pleased to see lots of great figures being reported - well done everyone!Save 12k in 2013-2014-2015-2016-2017-2018-2019-2020-2021-2022 - then early-retired.4 -

A few unexpected bills so only managed £458.33 for the month of Feb.
I don't include any interest on savings or any of the growth on investments. The money I declare as savings is just on the day to day income. I expect some investments to go down over the next few weeks due to the coronavirus - ah well, that's expected but they were doing quite well this last few weeks!!!4 -
Hi,
Declaring for February, I managed to squirrel away £1000 as I was paid a back payment from universal credit so rather then keeping it in my current account, moved it into some maturing regular savers (Well a few, I increased the amount I could save this month) as they mature in April I think, then will decide what to do from there.
Form completed, bring on March
