That's my automated savings for the month, but I'm hoping to squirrel away a bit more before the end of the month.

Still £45 behind target so far but have holiday next month so all surplus going towards that for the rest of the month, then hopefully back on track.
Thanks for running the thread 😊#39 - Save £12k in 20253 -
Hi all,
#22
I didn't save anything for April, instead I actually spent some of my savings. Reporting -£1652.98.
I moved some future plans forward and took some time off work. Should get back to saving from June onwards.

Spreadsheet updated.
I have transferred money over to savings and regular savers so updated £1350 for May. #1 I don't think I will put anymore in this month as we put our South Africa holiday deposit on the credit card and that comes out next week.

Hi guys late to the party. I completed this in 2022 for the full 12k and then some. Then spent on rennovations to our new house last year.
I am back on board this year, count me in for £12,000.
I am at £1,000 in emergency fund. I will be aiming to get this to £3,000 by end of July, £5,000 by end of the year.
The rest will go into regular savings account. £12,000 extra, in cash in the bank by end of the year. £11,000 to go and 8 months to do it. Lets go.2 -
#4 declaring £751 for April.
Lower amount than usual as it covered a small holiday in April and have seem to be very busy socially over April (and looking like the same in May too). In particular have been going to few 'stag dos', really interesting to see how different people plan them in different ways and certainly some are most cost effective than others!
I've been planning my Brother's stag do for end of this month, been trying to keep costs down as much as possible whilst organising fun activities/things to do to keep everyone happy and laughing!"If you aren’t willing to own a stock for ten years, don’t even think about owning it for ten minutes” Warren Buffett
