Fiver Friday Challenge 2026

Coxy11

Hello all,

Welcome to the Fiver Friday Challenge for 2026.

Each Friday I will put away £5 into a separate account and if I stick to it will have £260 by the end of 2026. I did this in 2025 and found the little and often approach really worked towards this goal.

Who is in for 2026?!

@ lastbigspender - There's a book called, 'The No Spend Year' try to get hold of a cheap 2nd hand copy off of ebby. It's a true life story of a woman who sets about to have a full year of no unessential spending and all the finicial plans, stops, and budgets she puts in place to achieve it - Personally, I found it an very practical, inspirational, and achievable read.
I'm sure others will recommend other reads too!
