We’re aiming to have 10k by the time I go on maternity at the beginning of March

0🙃🙃🙃🙃

£0. Pure winging this mind 😂

Not much at all! I have however applied for a 17 month interest free credit card 😂

I will still get full pay for 6 months when I go on Mat leave so will be able to put away around £700-£800 a month away, we already have a couple thousand already saved so hoping we will have about £7-8 thousand saved by time I go on half pay

5K.

I can split my maternity so it levels out across the period. So it’s going to be roughly equivalent to what I’ll earn going back part time. So I’ll just get used to it!

Im taking 12 months off and luckily get paid for the first 6. We have saved 10K and will save another 6K between now and the end of my first 6 months of paid mat leave. This is about what we need for me to stay on the same ‘income’ for the unpaid 6 months.

Self employed not entitled to maternity pay and 0 saved - totally winging it here lol xx

0, moving on vibes and grace 😂
