Van_Girl

OK, I'm calling Dec at £895.59, making my grand total for the year £23,024.86. Just squeaked over my target!

Well done everyone, and hope you all have a lovely Christmas and New Year or whatever you celebrate

Spreadsheet updated.

There will be a 2023 challenge - the thread will be up in a few days so keep an eye out for that.

Everyone is doing so well - I'm excited to see what the final total is!

That is great slowlyfading.  Thank you so much for organising this challenge.  I  will keep my eyes open for the new thread.

@Flo08 the new one for 2023 is expected in the next few days. There's only one remaining declaration left in this one. You can either click on slowlyfading's name and then "discussions" to check if she has started it yet, or keep checking the Savings and Investments Board for it. Don't forget to "bookmark" it when it starts so you can always find it by checking the little pennant symbol

Thanks for running this challenge @slowlyfading. 

See you on next years challenge.

Thanks again for running this, December I got in with £840 so ended up a little short of target. Look forward to 2023 challenge

#12 with £1,175 for December.  Happy with this and think I'm over my £15k target.  Every penny will be a definite prisoner next year as it will be my last full year before early retirement - hopefully!

Thanks so much for running this challenge @slowlyfading, will look out for the new 2023 thread.

I have done a very poor job of updating this year - 2022 has been dominated by a new job, way too much travel, an internal transfer into a new new job, and finally my boss unexpectedly leaving last week and me taking over in a new new new job, all of which has been a bit exhausting. Final updates for the year are:

• £3900 for October
• £3822.64 for November
• £6300 for December

which takes me exactly to my £50,000 target. Although I feel I rather lost my focus in 2022, I'm very greatful for this challenge over the years - it has transformed my finances and meant that I could go through a deeply uncertain year at work without worrying too much, and that wouldn't have been true without @slowlyfading et al. putting me on the path all those years ago

#16 reporting £346.28 for December. 

Overall an out of this world year but that was due to a lunatic offering £50,000 more than we would have accepted for the sale of a property. 

Looking forward to next year.

#32 back for my last December payment of £696.98, which means my total is £7,180.24, £180.24 above my target 🎯. This year was more spending than was normal, as I went away to 4 South American countries in the summer. Getting proposed to means I now need to save with a wedding in mind, so my other savings pots will inevitably take a dip. I will be back next year with perhaps a reduced target but thank you slowlyfading for managing this. Everyone have a great end of year and see you in 2023 x
