Is this my final update of the year? Maybe, maybe not.
Thanks for running things, this was my first year and it has been really interesting to see how I do against start of year predictions, which otherwise tend to go out of the window as the year progresses.Debt Free I FFEF I Building Savings I 2025 Plan:- Regular Savings £6,350/£10,000

#14 Van_Girl declaring £728.82 for Nov and £2671.01 for Dec.
I'm quite short on my target, partly because I had extensive roof repairs, and partly because I had a considerably more sociable year this year! But I'm still proud of what I've saved. I've rejigged my budgets for next year as cost of living has bitten hard, and I also need a little bit more set aside for fun. Looking forward to the new thread£12k in 25 #14 £9,148.42/£18k 24 #14 £15,653.11/£18k 23 #14 £17,195.80/£18k 22 #20 £23,024.86/£23k4 -
