Hello,
I know it’s a bit late in the year but could I join please. I had a bottle with loads of change in. So started 1st June and doubled my saving until end of June. If I’ve worked it out right I have saved around £8.78. Think I need a spreadsheet for this. I’m just waiting to start a new job so this challenge is perfect!0 -

#21 - I have added £50 to the pot for June.
I am also planning to cash out my Vint*d earnings in the next couple of weeks, and I might add them to the pot if they are not required elsewhere. I am hoping to fill in some of the later months a bit earlier, as I am not sure I'll be able to save the amounts required by November and December at the end of the year.Debt free journey started 30/08/2023:

I'm probably a little behind with just over £85 in the pot so far (around £37 down on what I should have had if I followed the monthly amounts). Been adding a few pence here and there from my bank by rounding up or down to the nearest £.
Car MOT and service due next month, so going to hold off on any bigger payments until that's completed as I don't know what unexpected costs I might get lumbered with.
Once that's out of the way, I'll get back on track with the bigger payments.
