Not sure, gained more I think..
I'm not really sure how much I've saved. I have bits of paper everywhere with everything logged but haven't made it clever with a spreadsheet yet. I think though I have gained more than saved. For example, chucking 0% credit card cash into savings accounts and abusing gambling intro loopholes. I only just bought the Money…
I have a problem.
Since hearing Martin on radio four years ago, I took at look at this site. What I read on all subjects interested me so much that now, retired through ill health, I try to enter these "hallowed" halls at least twice a day. The problem is, it is SO time consuming. One needs to adopt a strict discipline and remain on the…

Reducing my costs - Baby on the way
I didn't really know where to put this and seemed as good a place as any. Because unfortunately my wife is the main bread winner when she goes on maternity we lose a lot of wedge so I decided to look at all of our Direct Debits to see where my biggest costs are. I'm not going to be very candid with you all but I've made…
Martin is helping me save for my wedding!
Well,, not him personally, but his website and book is! ;D All my debts are now transferred onto 0% credit cards, with the exception of £5000 on Barclaycard 2.9% LOB offer. I also have 10,000 'stoozed' (remainder of balance of Egg cc and M&S cc credit limits). I think this is quite good considering that I have only applied…

This thread changed my baby's life!!!
I just wanted to acknowledge everybody's help given to me and my wife at a time when we needed it most. We ( i should say 'she'!) started breastfeeding our newborn just two weeks ago and it was really painful for my wife. To the extent where her nipples were bleeding and she was dreading our baby waking up as she'd want to…

Martin Lewis: How to call your bank with just three digits – as 'anti-scam' phone number called over a million times
One million calls have been made to the '159' anti-scam phone number since its launch in 2021, new figures reveal today (Wednesday 30 April).

Revealed: Holland & Barrett's supposedly cheaper 'Subscribe & Save' often costs more – it's promised a review after our investigation
Holland & Barrett's 'Subscribe & Save' scheme claims to offer regular shoppers "the best value" – but it failed to do so in the majority of cases MoneySavingExpert.com checked over a five month period. The retailer has now promised to review the scheme after our research found it was often more expensive.
Don't get your passport by post – 360,000 paid more than needed last year
If your passport is due for renewal, apply online if you can – it'll save you £12.50. More than 7 million Brits did just that last year – but over 360,000 missed out on savings by using a paper form instead, MoneySavingExpert.com can reveal.
Sainsbury’s Bank customer? NatWest takes over this week – here's what it means for savers and borrowers
Sainsbury's Bank's savings, credit cards and loans will be taken over by NatWest from Thursday 1 May. For most, this means little will change for now as the Sainsbury's Bank brand will remain, though it's expected to be phased out towards the end of this year. However, if you've over £85,000 saved across both banks, it's worth considering moving any excess elsewhere to ensure your cash remains protected.
Chase customer? Check if you can get its newly boosted 4.8% easy-access saver
If you've got a Chase account, check if you can boost your easy-access savings to 4.8% – made up of a 1.8% AER fixed six-month bonus plus its standard 3% variable rate. Chase says over 2 million customers can get the boost, which would top our normal savings tables if it were open to all, though it's beaten by the top easy-access cash ISAs.
