The 365 Day 1p Challenge 2023

sonas_baby

No 3 reporting a total of £44.52 for November by choosing random numbers depending what's in my purse and what hasn't already been scored off the challenge sheet. Need to get another printed out for January.

Spreadsheet updated.  You are all doing very well.

#33 reporting £30.24 saved for November which should mean I have £15.27 left if I have calculated correctly and I have just added this as a lump sum for December.
So my total for the year, with interest is £680.68.
I'm going to join the 2024 challenge and maybe another perhaps virtual sealed pot or £1 a day, definitely not £12k!
I've decided that the money saved this year will partly be used for my 60th and I've already bought theatre tickets, although paid for on my credit card at present.
My next main aim to to bring the credit card balance right down but it's on 0% purchases for several months so shouldn't be a problem.
Thanks for organising this challenge.

Another £47.70 added to my savings challenge pot and 15  more numbers ticked off up to £3.25.  Still not sure I will make the full target  but still aiming for it.  £138.20 to go which is approx £46 for the next 3 weeks until the end of 2023.

#99 cashing out at £370 - well short of the £670 target, but had to break in to the savings for a cash emergency.  Plan for 2024 is to go for a regular saving of £50 a month - will be tougher than this at the start, but will ease up as the year goes on.  Thanks for the support over the year - it has helped to keep me on track (more or less!)

Well done on completing the challenge and I will look out for you in 2024.  Do you have a purpose for the £667.95 or are you putting it into rainy day savings?

Hi everyone,

Thanks to @enthusiasticsaver for running the challenge this year. I finished slightly early and short of target due to starting a new job on 27 November, but nevertheless managed to save a whopping £587.92 which I hope will go some way to funding my next JoGLE hike in April J

I’d love to take part next year as I found it really motivating to see the amounts adding up. I did a weekly update and picked random numbers throughout the year and will do the same for 2024.

initially had thought to use for my own wee holiday in May (i pick a cheap flight to France & attempt to use rusty school language skills & eat delicious food for a few days on my own)...but this time our group of 4 uni friends ('98) have 2 hitting the big 5oh next year so an additional treat of a weekend away in the UK has been suggested; such a bonus to have this cash squirrelled away that i can put towards both.

@northAthenian That sounds like a great use of the money. Mine will also go towards holidays and mini breaks in 2024. 

I have just added my weeks contribution to my savings space and ticked off 14 numbers to catch up by the end of the year. Now up to £3.39 and £46.55 added to the pot so £576.30 in total. Less than £100 to go and helpfully my MSE ambassador expenses are due to be paid to me Monday so that will more than cover that so my challenge will be completed next week just before Christmas 😀. Just over 2 weeks to the end of 2023!
