The "Save 12k in 2022" Thread!

Well said @geoffers4 - I saw the youtube clip - poor girl, it will take a while. I know we all believe she will come through this stronger than before, but it is a hell of a thing, and will take a while.

I did actually have a little explore to see if we might be able to help but I am guessing the Forms we all submit, are auto-updating the spreadsheet, so it is updating in her absence (as long as we all use the forms).
Speaking of which, I am off to update my total (£645.51 for June)

no #70 reporting  £686.18 for June (for submitted)

Currently behind where I was hoping to be.  I could catch up if I tighten the purse strings even tighter but that would mean a lot less  over the fun next 6 months (I blame the 'after covid and I can leave the house again...' list!).  I'm still going to aim for my £8k goal but won't beat myself up if I don't quite make it, and at the same time I'll still indulge in my list but will only do things I really want to and not just because of fear of missing out.

It doesn't auto update she will update the spreadsheet from the forms that we send in.

Ugh - it could if it were set up that way

#20 checking in with £3,100 for April, making it £16,977.36 for the year so far - just about on track, but the next few months are likely to see me drop behind the pace. I'm in the last few days at my current job before starting a new one early May, but the switchover will disrupt things for a bit

Oh dear, i've been awful at updating this year. I am, indeed, dropping behind pace a bit, but hopefully starting to settle down now things are settling down in the new job. Updates are £3,100 for May, £3,100 for June, and £4,350 for July, for a total of £27,527.36 for the year to date. Will hopefully pick the pace back up over the next few months.

Congratulations to @wentthedaywell? and @geoffers4 for seeing those retirement plans coming together - my FIRE targets are still 5-10 years away at this point, so nice to see people getting there

As mentioned earlier in the thread my new (to me) car was paid for out of savings, so June is a reduction to be reported of (£11,218.72).

I have opened up a couple of new monthly savers ini July now that the interest rates are picking up a bit so they will come into play for this month's figure.

My best wishes to @slowlyfading for when she returns x

#5 reporting in for June. I managed to save £1,509 for this month (form updated) which means I am still on target for the year (50%). I also managed to add £400 to the repairs & replacements pot this time, but I expect some of it to be used up in the coming months by various planned works plus I have the car service, MOT and insurance due to hit in August.

#79 updated for July.  £10 away from target with 7 weeks to go before holiday 😊

#22 reporting £1449.74 for July. Staying on track for my target at 70%

It's been an ok month, nothing terribly exciting. Managed to trim some more costs so will be improving the savings by around £15 a month. Every penny counts!

Hope you are all good and survived the heat

Am I ok to join part way through the year? I've spent the majority of this year paying off a massive amount of debt which will be cleared in a couple of weeks and then plan to start a massive amount of savings, I'm looking at 12k from August through to Dec and joining a challenge like this will help me focus moving from debt repayment to savings

thank you
