    Sorry realised that this was confusing. I was adding £1225 not minus £1225

    #58 - November's contribution is in at a nice £1615.91, which sends me through my target with a month to spare, just as well since it's Christmas month up next!

    #7 Jellybaby reporting £550 for November.

    I’m well over my target but this was a guesstimate year having retired in March. Absolutely delighted how it’s worked out but next year will be totally different as I’m making plans and spending it!
  • #34 ReleaseTheStars £410 for November

    #4 declaring £0 for July and £0 for August.

    Been away a lot recently and paying renovation costs, means zero saved!
    Here goes a double declaration, unfortunately not the most exciting.

    #4 Declaring £0 for September and £0 for October.

    Likely November and December will be zero as well, hoping 2025 will be able to start saving again properly!


    Well done for keeping the renovations going and well done for trying to save what you could. It's never easy and it's even harder and takes real courage to declare savings on a forum challenge, so I admire your courage. What an inspiration you are for 2025 <3<3 .
    Looking forward to having you aboard next year ;)<3

    george4064 Renovations that add value are an investment, to be realised when you sell. Most likely outstrip most savings/investments in the long term.
