The 365 Day 1p Challenge 2023

enthusiasticsaver

Spreadsheet updated. Some good savings going on this week. I am itching to colour more of my chart in but resisting until nearer the end of the month when I know how much spare money I have.

Good morning savers. I have just paid in £5 to cover Januarys payments to my 1p starling savings space. Now up to £57 and I can colour in Januarys boxes on the chart 😁

Have a great day.

Thank you for your work enthusiastic saver.

For this challenge I have a pot I am throwing coins into (and recording here), but this week I also go back to doing surveys, and that gets paid into PayPal. Yesterday I was paid £5.82, so I'm keeping that in my account, and crossing £3.62 and £2.20 off my chart. I am trying to save as many of the bigger payments now, so it is easier at Christmas.

Hi All

Saver number 25 , I am saving random amounts each day, depending on what cash I have in my purse and crossing off the relevant amount on my chart.  Trying to get some of the bigger amounts cleared earlier on.  I had a quick tally up at the weekend and I have over £120 saved already (I start 1st November to be able to complete in plenty of time for Christmas).

I love this challenge as you can really play around with it to make it work for your personal financial situation.

Thank you @enthusiasticsaver for watching over us and running this challenge.

That is a good amount to  save.  I will update the spreadsheet.

Good plan.  Are you wanting me to  record the amounts on the spreadsheet?  Ideally if so can you embolden the amount for month/week or whatever and quote your reference number to save me searching each time? 

If you are recording just for your own benefit that is fine.

I am using round ups from my day to banking account to save for this challenge. Given that I am trying to cut down my day to day spending I may need to rethink my strategy for this challenge

Thank you enthusiasticsaver. I will just chat along to myself during the month, and give you my final tally at the end of each month with my number.
Thank you.

I have to say I am amazed by all the different perambulations of the challenge - wouldn't it be simpler to stick to the original challenge & do an extra personal savings challenge on the side?  Just joking - each to their own!
