    Well I got 2 x £2 coins today, so in they have gone...that takes my total up to £20 now, and I probably have about a fiver in my sealed pots too.....If I keep going at this rate I will definitely achieve my goal.

    Sorry if this is going to be a stupid question but what is the purpose of these various challenges to save money when the idea is to clear debts?

    I'm probably missing the point entirely but having read a lot of Martin's advice one of the things that has come across again and again is to clear debts first before saving as they will be cleared much quicker.

    I'm assuming everyone in these various challenge threads still have debts this being the DFW board an all.

    Doesn't that mean rather then saving money it's better used to pay off the debts?
