    Hello all,
    Please put me down for £7,000 for 2020.
    I’m a really good saver, but I just got a bit too frugal and in effect, stopped living, really.

    The aim is £550 or thereabouts a month.

    That's my problem, as well.

    I - weirdly enough - found that a budgeting app really helped with that, because I gave myself targets for savings and fun, and it was easier to say yes to spending then.
