    Just completed 2023. 

    I didn't ask for a number as I didn't feel confident that I could complete it.  But I did it.  Yeah!  Even renamed the savings account "1p challenge!" 

    Going to do it again in 2024 and this time please may I have a number?

    I think it will be too confusing to give you 2 numbers. Just double the amount or maybe look at the savings challenge on the saving forum where you set your own target? I run that one too. It is called Save £12k in 2024 but it doesn’t have to be £12k. 

    Exciting year for you next year.
