Good evening Slowly Fading,
I would like to join the challenge again for 2021. Target £12,000 but hoping to smash it again. I'm saving for FIRE.(Financial Independence Retire Early).SF - I just read this years thread and realise that you will have already put me down for next year as I said I wanted to join again when I gave my December update. 🤪2025 Fashion on a ration 0/66 coupons

Hi Slowly,
I would like to join, £4000 please!3 -
Hi SF, thanks for the shiny new thread and thanks for adding me to the challenge again. Please put me down for £40k for 2021.1

Hi Slowly, please can you put me down for £18000 in 2021. Still a big question mark about what we will spend on holidays during the year, so I've just gone with a guesstimate for that. Hopefully things will eventually get back to something like normal.
I'm another one saving for FIRE - now looking like early retirement at the end of 2022 according to my latest number crunching - so it's great to have the motivation from this thread and seeing everyone reporting their savings every month.Save 12k in 2013-2014-2015-2016-2017-2018-2019-2020-2021-2022 - then early-retired.4 -
