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 reason3 -
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!!Save £12k in 2022 #54 reporting for duty4 -
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!4

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.4 -
