2009 Savings Target 10K

Options
My saving target for 2009 is 10,000 in cold hard cash. I started in Jan 2009 with 2,646.74 and have for the past 2 months managed to save on average 850 each month. No idea how, as I only have two part time Jobs

Job 1 - 14hrs a week - 82.5Per Week
Job 2 - 16hrs a week - 100Per Week - < < able to get O/T on this job!

Weekly earnings - 182.5

Luckily Job 1 is paid monthly and job 2 is weekly!, so this really helps me save as much as possible!

Savings targets / Actually savings

JAN 3,000 / 3,322
FEB 3,400 / 4,200
MAR 3,800 / 4,269 < only 1st week in month

I am making a post of it so it will hopefully help me keep on track of my savings and give me a boost to earn extra. Just to add I have NO DEBTS!:j

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    By the end of April I hope to have atleast 5,500.00-shouldn't be that hard , but have a few things to buy summer festival tickets, flights etc etc!

    Thanks everyone for their posts of support!
