I am challenging myself (and if anyone would like to join me, that would be great!) to a LONG TERM savings challenge. I made a list on my computer of all the places I want to save money to, and listed how much I want to save, by what date, how much I've already saved, and how much I still have to save.
I think it would help encourage me if I did it on here, where I can see it all growing and maybe even get a note of encouragement from time to time!
I'm just going to use a really simple format. If you want to join me, feel free to use this format or one that works for you

Green means that it's done, Blue means it's got at least something in it. I'll update each week as I put money into the various funds!
