My final savings payment has gone  in for 2023.  £1000 bringing me up to my reduced target of £5000 after a £10k withdrawal to go towards my new car in October. I am trying to build our rainy day savings back up again.

Well that's me done for the year! #14 declaring £1516.94 bringing me up to £17,187.70. I think   

It's short of my target but I'm happy with it. Just need to be a bit more regimented next year, but need to start by restocking my emergency fund

Well done everyone for keeping up the full year, whether targets have been met or not. See you on the next thread

#24 Juststuff123 reporting in early this month so my figures are a reasonable estimate. You don't need to be filling in spreadsheets over the Xmas break!

December £4099

Looking forward to 2024!

#18 reporting £4,000 for November and £7,260 for December, which makes a total of £78,628.29 for 2023.

I've also crossed a major milestone this month, with a total of £501,322.21 saved since I first started on these challenges in 2012 (a year in which I recorded a grand total of ... £0). The overall position is even better than that, as I don't count compounding or growth in that total - e.g. my SIPP, which this challenge prompted me to open in 2014, has had contributions of around £210k since then but now sits somewhere north of £360k. So my huge thanks to @slowlyfading for setting me on this path; I effectively had no savings at all when I started, and it has very genuinely been life-changing.

What a brilliant update, and a wonderful recommendation to others.

Your running total is particularly impressive. Sadly, the last month or so of updates were never applied to the 2022 totals (at least for those of us who post our updates via the form, not always the thread). If Christmas is quiet someone might fancy a bash at updating that from the thread comments, and then maybe pick up the running totals from @geoffers4 that run to the end of 2021 and see where that goes...

@Lomcevak, I love reading your updates they are so inspiring and motivating. Well done on reaching the milestone
