    Figured out the annual amount I would want in retirement so I can save now for when I have less earning power.

    For free, non-judgemental debt advice, try: Stepchange or National Debtline. Beware fee charging companies with similar names.

    Changed my shopping habits. Now go in the evenings and plan meals around what YS stuff I can find & freeze, cook that night. Probably spending about 50% of what I was before everything started going up. Also joined a local Community Grocery scheme.

    Fifth Anniversary 1,000 Posts Cashback Cashier Newshound!
    In the past year I've done well with using cashback sites (mainly TopCashback, Quidco and Airtime Rewards) on purchases I was going to make anyway - means I won't need to pay anything for my phone contract for more than a year.
