The 365 Day 1p Challenge 2023

Hurdler

#70 checking in - been working away a lot so caught up with a bumper payment of £222.64 which gets me up to date to the end of July.
Also have been putting away £1 a day but not part of the separate challenge - into another pot so should build a saving pot of over £1k for the year - last year that all went towards a holiday so hoping to do the same again.

Lots of new updates this week so I will update the spreadsheet later but very excited to update myself today as I have just done the money shuffle as it is pension day today. Mr ES thought the money shuffle was a dance until I disillusioned him 😂 

So my update for this challenge is £35 going in to make it up to £400 (you know I like round numbers) and I have coloured in my spreadsheet. Hopefully more later in the month but I have hair and nails to pay for this month plus 2 lots of theatre tickets I put on my credit card and a walking holiday to pay for in October so saving separately for that. Photo of my colourful spreadsheet attached.

So here’s my update for August’s payment, just a couple of days early….

The payments for October ( £89.59 ) and July ( £61.07 ) added together total £150.66, and that will be for each of us. Which means for August….

           #86 Topscooby £301.32p (for August 😀 )

This challenge has really helped get both myself and my wife into the mentality of saving regularly, whilst proving just what can be achieved if you don’t find it a chore!

Continued thanks must go to @enthusiasticsaver for both running the challenge and keeping this thread so enjoyable to participate in 🙏

See you all at the end of next month guys and remember, over time those pennies really do add up!

You are doing brilliantly and are at the top of the savings list now almost at £2k.  Are you doing other challenges?

Great to see some names we haven't seen for a while updating this month.  Don't feel you have to update but it is nice to see you.  Keep going everyone on this second half of the year. As a collective group so far we have saved £16558.06.

Thank you ES - #17 reporting in  I am working down my pre-picked list of random numbers and July's total is £57.32 to my Bonus saver  (am already topping up reg savers so this will have to do).  This takes my challenge total for 2023 up to £402.10

I was saving £3.66 a day (a day from the beginning plus a day from the end ie 1p plus 365p, 2p plus 364p and so on) so completed the years challenge after 182 days. 

By way of a new challenge I’ve endeavoured to put aside £5 a day for the rest of the year and I’m at £150 thus far.
