The "Save 12k in 2022" Thread!

_theinsider

Count me in please, I was number 92 in 2021. Target of £12k again. Thanks.

January is going to be £6k saved (£2k to Premium Bonds and £4k into S&S ISA) as I received my 2021 bonus from work.

I'm anticipating limited opportunity for saving for the rest of the year due to moving house in the next 6 months!

Can anyone else see the easy update form?  The link seems to have disappeared? 

So far I have saved £750 this month with a further £250 due in to my regular saver next week so hopefully I will meet my target of £1k per month this month.

@enthusiasticsaver I don't think @slowlyfading has put it up yet. I've tagged her here but if there is no response in a day or two I can nudge her via another platform. I don't think the final spreadsheet for the S12K21 thread is up to date yet either.

Thanks @Suffolk_lass I am sure she will do it when she has a chance. I thought I saw it a few days ago so wondered why it had disappeared.

How is everyone getting on? I have made an impressive start to this year and I am holding on until the 31st to declare so I can save every possible pound.

February and March are looking like dry months at the moment. I am self employed so I am always hoping for last minute contracts but I am doubtful. I am set for a busy summer, so no holiday for me. 

This month's savings have been split between premium bonds and my ISA. I miss the days of decent regular saver accounts.

IntoTheForest, I have just opened up a new regular saver with N@tionwide - it is 2%. Not like the old days of 5-8% but better than the 1% that most of the others are offering.

@Gem-gem thank you. I will have a look as my current savings account is 0.7pc.

Have you reviewed the Regular Saver account thread? There are a few accounts around over 1%, depending on what you have open already?

I too am going to have a great January, which will hopefully cover a lower Feb & March

@dingling68 thank you! I have just had a look and found Suffolk building society (I am local) has one at 3pc, I can't put much in a month but it's something

£2,300 for me in January which is a good start to the year.

Back in the office next week for a few days a week though - need to make these as MSE as possible to keep hitting targets in the future. 

Hope everyone else is going well after a tough month. Off to update Sig.
