The "Save 12k in 2020" Thread!

Saved £1500, but reporting a net minus of £1000 because of the disastrous shares fall. I lost £4000 of my savings in a week .
Ah well, you have to take the bad times as well as the good!

Can someone tell me how I update my signature please? I still haven't warmed to the new website.

Reporting in with £5,032.20 for February, which makes £11,322.37 for the year so far. March should be another good month, but then we're rolling into some much-needed decoration and renovation work for the house. Estimates seem to be ticking inexorably upwards so i'm getting a bit nervous about what that means for my targets!

You should have a profile tab near bookmarks and notifications and you go into edit profile. On my Mac book it is top right corner to edit profile then signature is in the menu on the left of the screen

Just put my form in. First time I have included interest. Just over £500 for Feb with dividends and TTs. I just have not looked at my S&S ISAs - but I might. Probably will delay drawing down from DH's pension and reduce cash savings instead

Thanks for the tip about how to edit signature, Suffolk_lass.
I suggest you don't look at the S&S ISA this week unless you are prepared for a very nasty shock!

This prompted me to take a look, and overall my S&S ISA + SIPP were down over £17k yesterday alone! But I'm as happy with my strategy now as I was a week ago, my asset allocations are fine, so definitely a time to ignore all the noise. Cheaper units!

I only just started investing this month so it’s my first experience of the stock market and a crash, thankfully I’ve only got £340 invested but it’s not bothering me the loss and I’m finding it fascinating to watch and just put another £100 in and will again next week 🤣

Oh Dear, Stocks crash means i'm reporting a negative this month. -£870. Not sure if my target will be achievable now, still it's early days.

hi all, no, 10 reporting a figure of -£216.96, bringing my yearly total so far to £1708.09, alas have had a fairly bad month with things going wrong (dental, vet bills, repairs round the house), but onwards and upwards, hopefully March will be better.
