The "Save 12k in 2022" Thread!

Queen_of_the_Hive

Hello all, 

Its #51 here, I've been a bit 'head in the sand' and enjoying the summer. SF - glad to hear your on the mend. @geoffers4 exciting news on deciding on your retirement date. My OH is a bit older than me and he took semi retirement last year and he's loving it. He still works 2 days a week and this is still working for him & us! 

I feel like I am the Queen bee that's just about keeping her hive above water. This month (August) I have enjoyed some stock market gains & seeing the various pots growing instead of shrinking. So pleased to report £1909.20 and finally am free from paying off an outstanding credit card bill but still feeling wobbly financially.

#16 reporting £250 for July. 

Really gutted because we were mean to move house yesterday but our buyers have delayed so hopefully a boost in August. 

Sorry to hear about your house purchase delay, and keeping fingers  crossed for it proceeding soon  

Thanks for your best wishes. Missives all signed on Friday, all the legal stuff finally completed and we move on Wednesday. 

We were meant to move 21/07, then 28/07, then 12/08 so Wednesday can’t come quick enough. 

Excellent news, counting down til Wednesday!

#22 reporting £1612.45 for August. I've managed to tuck extra little bits away by shaving my grocery budget, although how much longer I can maintain that with spiralling prices, I've no idea

Hope everyone is doing ok and surviving these tough times

#16 reporting £45250 for the month of August. 

Astronomically inflated amount due to proceeds of our house sale being banked. There is another similar amount not being declared as it is our budget for the renovations.

Sorry I am sooo far behind on reporting - total is now £14,390 up from £10,750 but I cant remember from when. Will go and check and report it all in August but leave the others blank. 

Moving house, changing jobs, all sorts of other things going on. *Should* still hit the target I think...and will have paid off my final postgraduate student loan in the next few weeks which is great.

Hello everyone - it’s been an expensive summer, but I’ve managed to rebudget a bit to get savings back to a level that might meet the target by the end of the year.

I’ll be finishing up at my current workplace at the end of September. Starting a new job with a bit of a pay boost so things should hopefully pick up for the final few months. Fingers crossed it won’t be swallowed up by massive energy bills!

August - £1150

#12 reporting £1,425 for August - surprised at this what with family staying, holidays and costs rising.  Fingers crossed it continues!  Will submit form.

#32 here with £300 July payment. Been away to South America all summer so that’s where most of my savings have gone. Got engaged! Now I’ve got a wedding to save for too 😬. Thanks for slowlyfading for managing x
