Lots of interest for this challenge already so I have updated the spreadsheet with the new challengers for 2025. I have only included those who have set a target. The list so far is as follows:
Please only apply to join the challenge if you intend to update regularly on the thread. Please quote your challenger number when updating to help us find you on the spreadsheet. To avoid confusion please do not ask to change your number once allocated.
Any challenger who has not updated by the end of February will be removed from the challenge. Good luck all.

My regular Vanguard pension payment has gone out, and I've added interest from two of the three regular savers from last year to my 2025 savings pot with another small lump of interest due in a couple of days. I'm running with just two regular savers this year as I'm still considering full retirement in the summer...
