Okay so since I'm 18, 19 this year I am wishing to save up for a house or a flat at least.

This sparked the idea for this challenge, to save up for a place to call home or to set smaller goals to go towards saving for a home or to save up to buy bits for your home (eventually)

Anyone can join in with this challenge, no matter how much money they are able to save or make :)

also, there is a money making challenge if you wanted to track how much money you've made.

Guidelines:
1. you can count any type of income in this challenge, as long as it is going into your savings goal & not just to spend on "luxury" items like clothes,days out etc...

2.Please make your totals BOLD[/i] or make them stand out so it's easier for me to track! (Note: I can not see yellow on white! xx)

3. It's not a race, don't feel down if some weeks you don't do as well as other weeks or other members. Also, don't feel bad if you don't reach your target,if this challenge does well then we'll start this challenge again next year.
