The "Save 12k in 2020" Thread!

Gem-gem

Have already updated for July so will add these amounts to August. 

HMRC refund £23 - popped into my ISA
Allocated £250 for car insurance. Did two comparisons and phone my insurers - got the premium down to £221. So another £29 into the account. Small amounts but they all add up.

At the moment I'm looking at a loss for July, or a very very modest amount saved - the cat's had an accident and the vet bills are quite expensive. I should be able to claim about half back from the insurance company, which will cover a large chunk that's on the credit card, but July's total will all depend on how quick the payout comes back to me and whether I'll need to recoup from my savings.

Never been so grateful for having savings put aside though! And for this group and forum for keeping me motivated and accountable!

Well, I've managed to saved £69.85 - really small amount but it's better than the loss I was bracing myself for.

I'm still waiting on a claim for some vet fees - that should be in within a couple of weeks so hoping for a better amount for August.

I'll update the form soon.

No17 - declaring £1100 for July. This is the usual £1000 plus my Regular Saver with FD matured so I have added the interest plus a couple of extra pounds.  I have increased my target from £8,000 to £12,000, still saving hard for early retirement.

well done everyone for keeping it going during this difficult time

£5.04 saved for July.  Not expecting any savings now so may have hit my limit for the year.

#27 reporting in with £4,143.48 for July. Fingers crossed some long-awaited and much needed work to the house and garden is about to start next week, which is good news (it was originally scheduled for April, but we all went into lockdown) but likely to put a dent in savings for the rest of the year.

#142 declaring £2,346.89 for July! Form updated. Getting into the swing of this saving lark and I enjoy seeing the figure add up. My June figure hasn’t made it to the spreadsheet yet but not sure if it’s just not been updated yet. Looks like I’ll have to increase my savings goal soon now I started side hustling to really boost my savings. I have a 5 year plan and will feel much more comfortable financially after then(having never saved before this year).
