"The Save £12k in 2024" challenge

CreditCardJunkie

A tiny little £200 this month to hopefully start getting back on track! We've moved house this year and just back from holiday so our savings are well and truly depleted!!

Thanks for the update @CreditCardJunkie. Good luck with the rest of the year.

By the way, your signature says you are #35 but you are #25 on the spreadsheet

Thank you! Not sure how I've managed that but I've updated it now! I'm going to reset my target but need to figure out what's achievable with our new budget!

#34 ReleaseTheStars £526.08 for May
Thank you

#47 t2rry declaring a final £3570 for May (in addition to the £3k already declared)

That's a hefty month thanks to 2 extra paydays (unusual).  The £70 is from savings round ups, the £3,500 from the latest additional payday... I have kept another £1k back for what looks to be a tight budget over the summer months, hopefully I won't feel the need to use all of it and I can add some of that in too at a later date.

June will be teeny in comparison!

Happy with that. Can’t believe we’re heading into June already.

I've reworked my budget and my new target for the end of the year is £2000.

We were initally saving hard to move house and now our larger mortgage payment and regular overpayments eat massively into our leftover income!

Hi folks
I am dropping out of this challenge for the rest of this year.  Apologies. 
Best of luck to everyone who is still saving.

#58 - Here is my update for end of May 24, Total to add - £1132.96

Which leaves an avg of £788 a month to hit the £12k (Down from £831 from last month).

Rough breakdown :-

To savings accts/bonds - £770.73

Savings Acct Interest - Easy Access - £7.82, ISA's - £154.41

Premium Bond winnings - £200

Very happy with progress, especially for this month seeing as it was MoT/Service & car tax month. 

Just over 54% of target within 5mths gives a little room for manoeuvre too if anything crops up.
