It is a lot...but it can be done!
Ive lowered my take home pay to £16k due to pension contributions but there're different ways to make up the money. I get £4200 by renting out my spare room and little extras through mystery shopping and take advantage of freebies and selling old stuff I no longer use.
It's like a 2nd full time job, money saving!

Opened a regular saver with West Brom paying 4.1% gross fixed for 12 months. Slightly cheated as opened on 31st Dec so it will mature on 31st Dec 2013. £250 paid in so off and running. Will be trying to get January's £250 in ASAP to maximise interest.
Start a new job on 14th Jan and got some new clothes to buy so trying to look through the sales to get best quality for my money so they will last.
Next job is to open an ISA as haven't used this years allowance yet, will try to get as much in as possible before 5th April Also need to have a sort of items that could go on Ebay! 0 -
Put £40 in my savings yesterday, a small and slow start but its good to be a part of a challenge. Looking forward to really getting the ball rolling. Married in 2016. Bought our first home in 2017. Expecting our first baby in November 2017
Frugal & thrifty as much as possible.
