    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. 
    Welcome back @Bossofmoney - you are #65 this year
    Save £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £4863.32 out of £6000 after May (81.05%)

    Feeling good today as I managed to get the house insurance for £70 less than the renewal quote. Amazing what they can do when you tell them it's too high and you're sorry to leave them for a cheaper quote.

    An unexpectedly good month again this month, though June looks as though it won’t be much at all. Mulling over what I should increase my target to in view of this.

    Feels weird having spare cash that isn’t paying for a wedding. Thank you for all your kind wishes. Going to include April and May payday savings so it all tallies up, as I forgot to include that, as I get paid at the end of the month. So that’s £2000 for May please @enthusiasticsaver. Thank you for managing. X
