What I do is to round my bank account down to the nearest £10 on Friday evening, or Saturday, so the balance is a nice round number for the weekend. That averages £5 a week so that’s £250 in a year. I also move across the tiny bits of interest I get on my savings account at the bank, so my online banking summary has accounts all ending with 0.
If I’ve got any money in the bank at the end of the month I’ll move some of that across too, just to top it up a bit.
Personally I think it’s up to you how you do it. It’s basically a virtual piggy bank!
Hope that helps.
That does help:T. Thank you:beer:
Sounds like the old 'Tilly Tidy' that seemed to be popular in MSE forums in the past:)0 -

Added £2.86 this morning. Not much, but a nice start I think.
I'm doing a couple other challenges at the same time so didn't want to add an extra £5 this time.
