The "Save 12k in 2021" Thread!

#80 reporting £752.01 for June! All my standing orders went out yesterday. It was my girlfriend’s birthday at the end of May, so I did have a bit of a splurge. We took a quick UK trip for a few nights over the bank holiday, so I held some money back which would usually have gone into my specific holiday pots! It is my lowest amount saved so far, but I am happy with what I have saved so far this year. July may also be a 'low' month too but I will be back on it in time for August!

My Club Lloyds Monthly Saver matured as of today, netting me £52.01 interest! I need to move some of this into my S&S ISA and LISA but will wait until next month. No real other updates besides starting the transfer of my S&S ISA to Vanguard! I hope everyone had a good bank holiday weekend!

June breakdown:

• HTB ISA: £200
• LISA: £500
• Club Lloyds Monthly Saver (Interest): £52.01

Hello all! Signing in to declare £1324.28 for April. As usual this has been split between my HTB ISA, Regular Savers, Sharsave via work and my emergency fund.

Really chuffed with this total - I've managed to continue to save despite the temptations that come with easing of lockdown!
In May I'm due quarterly energy bills, I have a few birthdays coming up and hoping to finally go visit my family properly since last summer. My OH has also landed himself a decent job after being unemployed for 12 months, and will be moving in! We'll need to spend a bit of money on storage and a few bits etc to ensure we're all living together comfortably, but after June he'll be contributing to the bills and rent etc which should counter-act what I expect to be a drop in savings for the next couple of months  

I'll update the form in a sec x

#76 Coming in to declare £814.68 for May - as expected a drop compared to previous months, but I'm happy with that number as I could have spent a lot more on nesting!

I've updated the form.

#17 reporting in for May, form completed. I've managed to save £1,526 this month bringing my annual total to £6,450. I've also decided to up my target from £10,500 to £12,000 as I've moved to a permanent contract for my job (though have to complete a 3 month probationary period). Still have my separate pot for work on house / replacement car but that is, so far, all within budget.

Congratulations 👏🏾 that will be me at the end of the year. I’m paying £400 a month so I’d be glad to get rid of it.

Well done @ForestBluebells 😎😎
I've got one going by December and my post graduate I am thinking of using my savings to pay off as a lump sum to save myself around £1,700 in interest over the likely life time of the loan. Haven't decided what's best to do yet...
