    Thanks for the new thread SF! The 2019 thread was a really good motivator to reduce frittering so I’ll join again for £12k please.

    Hello slowlyfading,

    I have found the 2019 thread very useful, thank you for its organisation. I went off the boil during the summer but the motivation of reporting on the threat enabled me to end the year strongly.

    I'll try for £10k in 2020. This is a stretch target for me because I will be funding a child at university.

    What do people count? AVC for pensions? Savings you intend to spend in the same year (big holiday etc)? Interest/account bonus? TIA x

    Thanks for the thread. I'm in and will be back with a target when I've worked out my plans for next year.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Please sign up with a £15,000 target.

    Similar to Suffolk lass, this time I shall include savings made from my gross pay (which I haven't done previously) and see how I get on!

    As always, thanks slowlyF for your fantastic organisation and top efforts in making this such a great platform to help members save. :T

    Please sign me up for 2020, but this year it will only be a target of £6K, as my wife is probably going to have dental implants cost over £5K in the New Year, so no way I will save the same as this year. Even £6K will be tough.
