    Hi
    I'm in for 2019 too. I'm going for £20K, but this might be a tall order as DH just lost his job :( Hopefully he will get something else in the new year.

    Happy Christmas to you all !

    Sorry to hear about your husbands' job Ruthy1604 :(

    I have managed to pick up some overtime over the Christmas period, I really don't like my job so I am hoping that this challenge will motivate me to put in some extra hours over the year. We have just given our meter readings (g+e) and turns out we owe them some money so part of the overtime will already be eaten up. I'm sure we can make it back somewhere, the grocery budget seems likely.

    Is everyone else who has set a hard target to meet hoping to reach theirs by earning more or being frugal?

    So sorry to hear that. Finger's crossed he gets a job soon in the New Year.

    Yes, I am in part. I know I can do about 80-85% of it from salary if no big nasties happen. The rest is coming from everywhere; a bit of overtime, a bit of belt-tightening; having a really good declutter (we'll sell off what we can on the internet then car boot the rest), and making more use of vouchers and cashback sites.

    Basically I'm going back through everything I do to see where I can make some relatively painless changes first and then institute a few challenges throughout the year.

    I'm going to aim to actually hit £6000 this year. Haven't properly looked at the budget yet but I feel like I could have done it this year if I had just tried a bit harder!

    Please could I join? My target is £12,000 which is achievable but still going to be difficult.

    I plan to continue with frugal living and working extra. I have also joined the make £2,019 challenge to help reach my target.
