    Hi,
    Would love to join again for next year. I'm going to aim for 12K for 2020.
    This is the largest amount that I have ever aimed to saved.

  • Hi slowlyfading could you add me again this year and put me down for £4000 target.
    Thank you so much for running this thread, it keeps me motivated and out of debt.

    No 41 here getting prepped for next year :D

    This month we celebrate 1 year MF and 10 years DF. This site has been inspirational - we'd never have achieved these without Martin and the community - and I'm so happy to have a new challenge here.

    I'm carefully using TCB as I stay away often with work. That makes me a few extra pounds a month. Every little helps over the year.

    I'm also redeeming points when I have enough, rather than keeping saving them. Saved myself £6 in Boots this week (got to love colds ;) )

    Regular savers seem less good than they used to be but I read the thread here on then every week and have several for myself and Mr Katsu.

    For Christmas gifts we've agreed as a family to largely avoid giving very much. Some regifting planned for work.
    Debt at highest: £8k. Debt Free 31/12/2009. Original MFD May 2036, MF Dec 2018.
  • Hi.

  • Hi there, brand new to the forums but really want to get into good saving habits from now on. I'm 30, still live at home so have minimal outgoings, aside from my hobby and a couple of bills. Want to have a house deposit in the next 5 years ideally.
    So, can I join with a target of £9,000, please?
