haha...you really are clueless, you think my post was full of venom?! im not a viper...im a realist! i wasn't talking about any member specifically, i was talking about saving in general, or more to the point the futility of saving when you have large amounts of debt. I just wanted to figure out the reason why the £2 club was going on, and if you actually read my post and had a degree of intelligence you would have known i now fully understand what the club is about! i was just confused at first by it. If you think all members that are confused by something on MSE are spiteful and nasty then you really have the social etiquette of someone who sits around making pointless spreadsheets all day!...oh wait, that's precisely what you do! ho-hum.

What gives you the right to invade this thread and be rude to Kimberley and GreenFingers? If you believe 283 people who have saved over £6.5k between them MUST be wrong, then I suggest you go and start up your own thread and stop interfering in this one.

Back to the point, I'm in hyper-alert mode now to get two more coins so I can bank £40 at the end of the month. May even be forced to go and exchange some smaller change with the local shop! Although even if I dont make it to £40, I'm really impressed with what me & OH have managed to save between us this month... thanks GreenFingers for the encouragement and regular updates - I (and many others) really appreciate it! :T

i wasn't rude at all, greenfingers called me a viper just because i couldn't understand the point of putting all the £2 coins into a tin instead of a bank account! he is a silly boy. I can see on your sig, Callisto, that you are being very wise with your £2 and actually investing them to work hard for you...This is what i was originally trying to encourage Kimberley to see, saving money in a big tin in a cupboard for months on end is not good or efficient MS style and it should be avoided at all costs (and not actively encouraged as she was doing to another member)! I never disagreed with the £2 coin savers club, i was just concerned that when people are focussed too much on building up a huge store of coins they are missing the larger point of saving on paying interest or failing to earn interest by investing/paying off credit cards. Little and often is a much easier way to pay off debt, not in a lump sum that you have easy access to and may be tempted to dip into regularly anyway. Am i wrong?

Ryoooh,

Everyone has to deal with their own finances the way they think is best... other people can offer advice to them, but they don't have to take it. Why does it seem to be bothering you so much whether people keep their money in a tin or whether they put it in the bank? Really, if you can't enter into the spirit of this thread as it was intended (a bit of fun, while still saving up for important things), then I suggest you go elsewhere. I won't be discussing this any further.
