Hello everyone.

I started this challenge under the username helejenkins1 3 years ago. Unfortunately due to circumstances like not being fully committed to reducing my debt or saving, I didn't see this challenge the whole way through but decided that I wanted to start this challenge in 2022 back in October when I started making positive steps forward to getting rid of my debt.

The challenge has actually become quite famous, I've seen a number of articles online about it and I hope it can go on and help other people in the future.

So, how it works.....

The idea is that on the 1st January you save 1p, on the 2nd you save 2p, right on until December 31st when you save £3.65. Immediately you can see that January is a very easy month to complete but by December it can become very expensive. This is why people choose to do this challenge in many different ways. Some opt for doing it backwards, some aim to split the total by 12 so save equal amounts every month or some, like me have a spreadsheet where I highlight random amounts as and when I have them.

By the end of the challenge you should have saved £667.95.

If you want to sign up then comment below and I'll get this organised .

Can I join, please? I'm doing it starting with the most expensive £3.65 because I stopped doing it last year in June with the most expensive days and months ahead of me. I was doing it on my own so lacked backup.

I have updated the challenger list, maybe in a few days after a few more people have joined then if you want a particular number then we can sort that out. How does that sound?

jaxsmar

Fine whatever is easiest for you really appreciate it.
