This is a post not so much about saving $1000 but saving an extra $1000 over and above what you’d normally save. I’m sorry if that wasn’t clear.

You’d be very interested in tomorrow’s post about savings, and benchmark your monthly savings with millionaires (in % terms!)

Thanks for your comment!

Interesting post. I guess I’m more on the lucky side. I usually have a goal to save $1k per month. I’m not in any sort of debt or anything, so that’s nice.

The pot of savings will come in handy when I need it, and I see me needing it in the near future :(

It’s brilliant that you have a goal to pay your debt down, I wish you every success. Certainly paying a $1000 this month on debt will make a large contribution and save a bundle in interest charges.

Good luck. Matthew

I think that I will be able to save $1000 by spending on only the necessities this month. I’ve been looking for an excuse not to go shopping for shoes (even though I can use a new pair), plus with spring coming up quickly, I would like to buy some new spring clothes. But, for this month, I’m not going to do any retail theraphy and instead use that money to pay down some remaining debt. I think the motivation to be debt-free will be the catalyst to save my money, instead of spending it on my wants.

This is a great challenge for people because even if they are not able to save the $1000, any amount is better than $0.

Karen

Your understanding is spot on.

Yes you can include your Sky savings so that’s £360 in the kitty!

Only £640 to go!

Are you up for the challenge?

Matthew

Is that right?

Sounds like it’s worth a go. Can I include the £30 per month less we’re now paying on Sky or is that cheating because we did that before today? ;)
