    Day 2 and I'm now on 2/15 NSDs  :)

    I've been able to add teeny tiny bits of money to my ISA thanks to these NSDs.  I won't be retiring early, but my emergency fund is now on my "comfortable" zone and at least I'll have a buffer.  Honestly, it really is thanks to being more conscious about my spending due to these challenges.
