    Hi sf - I'd like to join this year, please :) We have several savings things going on but some will have withdrawals this year due to some work being done on the house. Do I report my.monthly figure as the net increase in savings in our accounts for the month? - otherwise if I did gross but then took out 20k for the building works it would be a bit skewed? And are SIPP contributions included?  

    I'm probably overcomplicating this for myself :D ......  Will set target when I figure out of I'm doing net/ gross figures :) x

    Hi greent - the rules are pretty simple and laid out on post 1/page 1.  Lots of people report negative figures in the months they have big spends like your building work, and then other people prefer to have separate pots - a "savings pot" and a "building work pot". On pensions - I don't include my PAYE pension deduction because I never see that in my bank account, but I do include AVCs.
    Save 12k in 2013-2014-2015-2016-2017-2018-2019-2020-2021-2022 - then early-retired.
