"The Save £12k in 2024" challenge

So with the new tax year here I have finished moving all my money around for the month and opening some new regular savers so some of the interest will fall in this tax year and some in next. Trying to juggle around the tax thresholds and allowances is always good fun.
ISA is all loaded, and spreadsheets updated and I feel like I am well on top of things (for the moment!).
#59 KrsyW £1,330 for April
Still holding in cash - as I think I will need the money in around 3 and a half years time which is a little short for an investment period.

Hello, No 8 declaring £4103 for April. Very happy with that. I've decided to set a provisional early retirement date of June 2026 so saving like mad to get to that point.
As always thank you to @Suffolk_lass and @enthusiasticsaver for running the thread so efficiently

#7 Jellybaby reporting £1,000 for April.
Pleased with this as amount as I’m still getting into a routine since I stopped working in January. The pots and spreadsheets I’ve worked with over the years are just not working for me now. I read through diaries and follow pension and retirement threads but I’m planning to read further through the boards and see what inspiration I can gain and take some time to come up with a new plan 😁
