Yes I love the savings spaces idea. Starling even has virtual spending cards for them now so when it comes to buying christmas presents I don't need to faff about with transferring the money over to our joint spending pot.cherry_22 said:

Wow! So many joining this year, amazing 🙂
Numbers allocated and totals updated, well done everyone.
Update as and when you can, there's no rules. Save as much as you can afford to, there is absolutely no pressure, just knowing you will have a bit of cash saved for the most expensive time of the year helps ease the stress 😁
I have a standing order set up (have done for years) transfers my £7 weekly and then I transfer into my current account when I'm ready to spend - I like the sound of transferring to an account that has its own debit card ready to go, I don't know why I haven't thought about this before!new challenge?£1 a day for Christmas 2024 £367 / £366 ~Got married 24/05/19 ~ Credit CardDFW Nerd #1155 ~LBM 25/2/09 ~ Debt at highest £8,037.35 ~ £06 -
