  • #9. I was just putting change in and ticking the boxes haphazardly which worked for the first couple weeks but I’ve realised I need abit of a plan, from the comments people seem to find tackling the big amounts early on in the year a good tactic so that’s my aim now 🤞🏻
    Xmas 2022 = £500/500
    Emergency fund = £50/1000 
    Penny a day challenge = 237/667.95

    I have been looking at all the posts and think I missed a trick by not starting with the big lot first. It actually would have been easier, especially with two non pay council tax months....Mmmmm. Will have to switch it round next year.

    I'm continuing to save as per the challenge (so £9.03 saved). I might, starting next month work backwards to take advantage of the non council tax months.
