#20 declaring £785.72 for March. Form updated.

Savings a bit under the average I need for my target again. But I know why - there is some money being saved for a holiday instead, I'm just not counting it towards this saving challenge.

So still a good month and I did reach a significant goal - I hit the maximum £4k LISA contribution for 22/23. 😁 Now on to maxing it for 23/24 ready to buy a house next spring.

I have also had a bit of a realisation on just how much I spend on coffees, so have separated out a small budget for that each month to help control it

#31 here, £1000 for March. Maybe this will take a dip as I start paying wedding bills. Thank you slowlyfading for managing.

Number 28 reporting £710 added in Mar - lower than planned due to dentist and breakdown cover! Must budget for it next year

£652 saved in March, which is not great even taking into account the deposit I paid for some garden work. Some of the spending is stuff I want to do over the summer, so worth it, and some of it was me throwing in the towel.

Next month is another month!

#6 reporting £198.88 for March, not a lot but OH is currently between work contracts so anything saved is good. Roll on the 10th and the new contract beginning.

A much better month for me and a grand total so far of 1779.05, putting me a little bit ahead of target of £6000 for the year (but with car insurance to come very soon)

Salary was down this month due to industrial action and next month's will have a larger deduction.

Well done on 14% @tommyendinburgh - can only dream of that pay award!
