I've decided to up my goal to also include saving for birthdays etc now. So my new goal will be $6500.
That means I'm at $3002/$6500. I just adore this challenge!!

I'm still very new here but been checking out all the challenges here on recommendation by a friend. I actually kind of do this already. I put £31 a month into an instant access ISA as a help for Christmas. I had to stop for a few months as money was so tight after we moved. I also transfer other bits from the cashback site I use when I can, so I will have to check it out.
I know I'm too late to join in but just wanted to check in I suppose!

Hi everyone
Our total is now up to £374 DFW Nerd No. 1484 LBM 07/01/15 Debt was £95k :eek: Now debt free and happy :j0 -
Thank you MummyTummy, hopefully I can try to catch up with the odd pound here and there. I have to prioritise paying off debt but I know how expensive Christmas is for us so it is prudent for me to save this money. We have never saved for Christmas before so am feeling rather virtuous!No Spend Days 2020 Jul 24 / 28 Jun 20/25 May 22/25 Apr 20/25 Mar 16/25 Feb 20/20 Jan 20/15
