"The Save £12k in 2024" challenge

MrFrugalFever

#32 reporting in for SEPT = £668.95
and 
OCT = £1,000 

Total = £6032.07 vs target of £5,000. 

I am very pleased with this as I went in to this year knowing I had some very large expenses. I should be near on £7,000 by end of December which i'm super chuffed with.

Oh well done @MrFrugalFever. I don't increase my target if I exceed it in the year, as, for me, it always feels as though I am making up for those that have to stop saving or forget they have joined the challenge, against our collective target (£644k this year)

Thanks I agree. I was playing it safe this year due to having in excess of £15,000+ worth of planned expenses so really quite pleased. I have, however, had to play the credit card juggle game throughout the year to ensure I do not pay any interest or bear any significant balance!

Its really encouraging looking at the spreadsheet to see so many people doing so well! I'm looking forward to next years challenge which I will be setting at the £12k again.

Hello @enthusiasticsaver

May I join for 2025 please?

Thank you

Hi @$17mma - it's a bit early for 2025. The best thing is to check the pennant symbol, top right, and that will add this thread to your bookmarked threads (link to that can be found to the right had side of this screen or under quick links if you are a phone user) - we will say in a post here before the end of December when we are opening up the bright, shiny, new 2025 thread and have set up the spreadsheet to track for everyone. I hope that helps.

Many thanks, yes booked marked and saved, wanted to register my interest but will circle back in December

Reporting in for my October update, as I am off work next week and am going to be busy having fun (and probably spending money!). 
I have also manged to take more of a balanced approach this month, and spent some money from a different pot on a few things - I have been thinking about buying a digital piano for a while now and pulled the trigger this month.  Double pleased with myself as I bought it from a local independent music shop rather than the usual online giant! 

#59 KrsyW £1,330 for October
