Have you seen the demotivator tool on this site? You put in how much you spend on mags each month (for example) and it tells you how many days you will have worked to pay for it!0

I spend loads on mags, I do subscribe to a few which cuts the cost down, but I will try not to buy any
Game mags (some cost £5.99 if they have cover discs)
Mens mags (no not !!!!!!, GQ, Esquire etc!)0 -
I'd like to join this challenge for January. I'm back to work on 7 January and I will resist buying any food at work. If I can do this for a month then I will save myself about £50 which will go towards my other challenge of a zero cost Christmas 2008.
I love these challenges as I find them really motivating - the problem is I forget which ones I've joined which is why I'm trying to join them all up with the same goal - iygwim!!
