Any challenges for savers?

in Debt-free wannabe
I see a lot of head to head challenges for people who are wanting to be debt free. Yet these forums have many money savers (either post debt or just savers) and wondered if there were any savings type challenges? I love a good challenge I do!

Can anyone point me in the right direction please? :money:

    I dont know about any, but I'd love to do that too! It would probably try and save a bit more! :)

    There's a thread created by Wanno in the Savings and Investment part of the forum, if that's any help.

    Can I wish you both the best of luck becoming debt-free wannabes?

    It must take a huge amount of courage and cut backs and changes in your life to be able to face up to debt and do something about it :T well done to you both, and everyone else on this board..

    And sooner than you think...you will be moneysaving wannabes!!! :money:

    You could try the Get Yourself a Mortgage Pig on the mortgage free wannabee board - great support and a giggle as well!!

    (I know you haven't got a mortgage yet, but you need to start as you mean to go on!!!!!)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
