Thanks, Pink

Hi, I’ve been reading through the posts here and would like the accountability of joining please. 

I’m going to please set a target of £25,000.
This may be ridiculous but it depends more than anything on me upping my income and not overspending. Last year was tough on finances and along with an upturn in my emotional health, I really want to focus this year. 

Coming up to the end of January I’ve been able to save £5756. 

I’m saving towards retirement, with state pension age a little over a decade away.

I’ve recorded what I have in savings right now and will aim to see that has grown at the end of each coming month….terrifying and exciting at the same time.

Hi @1stTimer, I have added it to the £170.23 but having done so, I am wondering if that figure included the £170.23 you had already posted. Please confirm

#50 t2rry reporting in for February - £1,905 please

Painfully un-round a number but gives me an incentive to find another £45/£95 etc throughout the month!

#47 declaring £1478.77 for January. 

A good start thanks to some annual bills being less than I'd put aside for them.

Thanks for running this challenge

Not a bad start to the year and next month will be better with a sizeable ISA maturing.
