Number 68 reporting for January.

I managed to save a healthy 971.50 for this month. I received a refund for a holiday which I wasn't expecting which bumped up my savings significantly! Happy Saving all!!

Won £25 on the Premium Bonds and I can predict I will spend the rest of the month debating with myself whether to include it in my February total (auto reinvested)!

I count mine Viking. Although zero wins for me in Feb.

#70 here having submitted form this morning with a total of £4,538 for February. This includes pension, S&S ISA and cash savings account contributions as I use this challenge to track personal FI goals. It doesn’t include mortgage overpayments as that’s a separate challenge. Thanks,

First update of 2021!
I managed to save £2,078 in January, so that's my total for the year to date.
This brings my total savings to £199,763. So close to the £200k mark! I'll get there this month. Need to mark the occasion properly. All the usual celebratory options are off the table (eating out, travelling etc) but I will think of something.
Happy 2021 everyone

Hi,

A good start in 2021.
Hope everyone is safe and well.

#80 checking in with a total of £900 for February! 

I have updated the form and have revised my overall target from £12,000 to £11,000 as I am not including pension contributions and have recently decided not to bother with a LISA for our house deposit (I was going to include the £1k bonus within my £12k)

Anyway, February has been a fairly good month so far! I opened my first ever S&S ISA at the start of the month. The sinking funds which I set up at the start of the year are looking alright too. It’s nice to know I have budgeted for things like birthdays, my car and even Christmas!

Breakdown for February:

• Holidays: £300 

• HTB ISA: £200

• Club Lloyds Monthly Saver: £400
