    Totaliser spreadsheet
    (total saved by everyone since the thread started in 2012)
    - wow, great going everyone!

    Wow! :T

    Makes me wish I've started serious saving 30 years earlier when I see how much I've managed in 7 years. But I was either young and having a good time, or older and paying my mortgage. Both valid reasons why I didn't! :D

    Retired now looking after my partner, I am now unable to save like I used to when I was employed, but I still manage to save £1 per day (not much you say) but when you income drastically dropped its all I could afford. Doing well though, well over £200 since Jan 1st. Thanks

    Marriage is hard. Divorce is hard. Choose your hard.
    Obesity is hard. Being fit is hard. Choose your hard.
    Being in debt is hard. Being financially disciplined is hard. Choose your hard.
    Communication is hard. Not communicating is hard. Choose your hard.
    Life will never be easy. It will always be hard. But you can choose your hard.
