It's October 9th but I haven't updated my sidebar since the last week of September so thought I will mark my progress at being 3/4 of the way through both challenges.
52 week challenge total saved so far = $3,805.48
Banking the Difference challenge saved so far = $3,168.54
Total savings as at 30 September = $6,974.02
The banking the difference challenge has changed totally since moving my credit card over to the 0% credit card and putting myself on a 14 month repayment plan to get it paid off by the date it comes off 0% - I now find that we can afford to pay the $303 payment, 52 week challenge savings and the $183 mortgage saving and that's as far as it goes to be able to live kind of comfortably.
It works out to be about 15% of my pay which I think is reasonable. It's funny how things change in such a short time!
