Look at that, I'm up to 6th grade. And up to $9,931 in the EF.

[laceshawl]

I did it! Shifted $69 to the Ef this morning, and now i have ten grand!

[SavingSteve]

Nice work! That's a large amount saved in a short time. Congratulations!

[deedee421]

Wow!!! Congrats - how did you save $10,000 so quickly? I'm always looking for ideas if you don't mind sharing.

[laceshawl]

I had around $2000 to start with, and $6000 was left over from the sale of my house, so i really only saved $2000.

That's still a lot in a short time! You definitely make me want to push myself even more, and congrats again on your savings.

I'm still working on my cash saving challenge. $5 in this week for a total of $15. It will be a challenge when I get to the higher amounts, as I only take out $60 cash a week for groceries and transport, and it doesn't make sense to take extra out just to stick it in a jar, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

[laceshawl]

Another $6 in the jar (actually a tin money box with the words Birthday Fund on it) - a total of $21.

[laceshawl]

Another $7 for my challenge. Total $28. I put $20 into Bonus Bonds.

Way to go!

[LittleMissSplendid]

[laceshawl]

And another $10 added. Total $55

Nice going!
