When I got paid this month, I have started this month moving any residual money into a "Sweepings Up" savings account.
For example, there was £6.74 left in my "Motoring / Petrol a/c" from last month's budget so I rounded that down to £6.00 by moving the remainder of £0.74 to the "Sweepings Up" account
.
If you look after the pennies, the pounds look after themselves
DFW'er - Lightbulb moment : 31st July 2009 - £18,499
28th October 2019 - £13,505 - 27% paid off.
