"The Save £12k in 2024" challenge

#26 here

Usual early Xmas pay day means I’m reporting £1300 for December. Merry Christmas 🎄 everyone. I may be back before the end of the year to put a few pounds from my ISA interest which I re-invest. So if not, happy new year too.

In the new year I’m looking to increase my savings as I need a new car and looking to start a family. So I’ll be back. X

Hey everyone, well here it is…the final update for 2024! Was unsure if I could sustain this challenge for the whole year but very glad I took it on and succeeded, and more!

Going to sign up for next year as soon as it becomes available.

#44 final update of 500 quid for December.

Thank you for the running challenge again. Very satisfying to see how well everyone has done. 

I'd encourage anyone who didn't participate this year to make the 2025 challenge your new year's resolution. Doesn't matter if your target is £500 or 25k.

Just in case you have not seen it, the new thread for 2025 has been posted and if you want to join in, please go to this link to tell us! It has been on a little tour of the forum but is in its correct place now, under Savings and Investments.

Thanks for running this challenge. It’s creeping up to my first year anniversary since I took early retirement and I’m amazed at what I’ve managed to save. It’s given me lots to think about.

And for my final update for the year;

#59 KrsyW £1,330 for December.

This was my first year of doing this challenge, and I just wanted to say a big thank you to @enthusiasticsaver and @Suffolk_lass for all of your hard work and efforts in running this and keeping it up to date.

I haven't worked out what I am doing next year yet - depending on strategy I may be aggressively boosting my pension rather than increasing my savings.  I might sign up with a lower target, but that is a decision over the next few days (while I finish off the Christmas bottles!).

Signing off in this thread, and as a final word I just wanted to say a big CONGRATULATIONS to all of the savers in here.   Not just those who hit or exceeded their targets, but to everyone in this thread.

Happy New Year to you all, and I may see you in 2025.
