The "Save 12k in 2015' Thread!

A question about : The "Save 12k in 2015' Thread!

So, the title is pretty self explanatory, but this is the place to be in 2015
In 2015, the aim is to save Ј12k (or, any other amount if you like!) from 1st January 2015 til 31st December 2015. I know it's early, but it gives you the time to plan for how you are going to do it!

• May I join the ride? I want to aim for Ј2k next year, and if I can beat that, all the better!
• Thank you Form submitted. This is a really significant savings year for me. It is the 'final fling' of saving for the future. Many years of the wonderful tips from the MSE forum, spreadsheets and grit determination has bought me the point where I now am Ј13k from peace of mind. I feel it is fitting to join with fellow msers for this final journey. I am estimating I will need to save Ј10k from salary and the rest can come from interest on existing savings.
