Hi Slowly, relatively new poster here but I've been following the 2020 thread for the last few months and I would love to take part in the 2021 version
Could I be put down for a target of £5000 please? I know it's modest, but I have recently left my stressful job and I'm not sure when I'll be able to be employed again, however I do think saving just over £400 a month will be do-able.

Count me in again - £50k target for 2021

Ok - I think I'll set my target at 18k - to include occasional sipp contributions (but not sal sacrifice pension contribs) and ignoring any spends from pots of money already saved and assigned a purpose (eg funds saved towards building work) (above for my info only
)

Thanks for adding me in! I've decided I'm going to count everything I add to savings and investments and what's left over from my salary each month. Thanks to whoever recommended joining the grocery challenge too to make further savings, sorry can't remember who, but this is an area I need to tackle. I'm getting quite excited for 1 January!3
