Hey,I'd like to join. I'm new, so don't have a number. My goal is £3000. I feel really daunted by my mortgage and quite alone in tackling it as a solo homeowner.

Hi,
Please can I join? I don’t strictly have a mortgage yet but it should be set up in the next couple of months (my brother and I are buying out our other two brothers on our family home after Mum passed away in August - we’re waiting on probate to go through). Can I set a small target of £2000 and see how I go.
Thanks3 -

Can I join again? Happy to keep no.23. As for a target, I have no idea what 2025 holds for me financially so I think I will go for £5,000 and hope I make it.
Thanks for running the challenge,
Bounty
