  • Hi SF and fellow savers, hope you're all having a lovely Crimbo Limbo (I'm working, but at home so not too bad).

    Please can I join again for 2022? I'm going for £15k although if we finally pull our fingers out and move house that won't happen. But that is what I'm currently saving for, so it'd be a good reason :)

    Ok, I am going to take the plunge and sign up for £18k please.

    Trying to save towards my retirement after belatedly realising it will be here before I know it and I have wasted years of opportunity!!

  • Hello, SF, thanks for setting this up.

    I've rejoined the forums having lost all my details, and as I am wanting to have a renewed focus on saving this year.

    We hope to move house in a few years so I am looking to squirrel some money away for that - or just generally to save for life/retirement/whatever might come up.

    Please would you put me down for £18,000 as a real stretch target?

    I currently try and save around £1,250 per month but I want to push myself to save more and also look to sell things I don't need/want to make up the difference. I am hoping the wonderful support here will help push me through!

    Hope everyone is having a great Christmas/New Year!
  • Hello and Happy Christmas to you all.

    Long time lurker here and it has come to my attention that lurking and not doing is not helping my retirement plans.

    I am hoping being accountable will give me some much needed incentive to actually put my good intentions into action!

    Please put me down for £6,000.

    Many thanks.
  • Hello SF; thank you for setting up this challenge again. :smile:

    Please put me down for a target of £7,000. 

    Thank you.
  • Hi there, fell out again last year but need to stick to it and this is the best way I've found of doing it! Could i be put down for £9k please?  Thanks in advance
