Hi
When I moved in with my parents in December 2007 my aim was to save at least $1000 a fortnight, and in the last few weeks I have realised that it is possible if I put my mind to it to save a couple of hundred more a fortnight. $1200 a fortnight.
I'm thrilled to learn today after ringing the bank that I managed to save:
$2400 - in 17 days (since beginning of April)
This is fantastic news.
I am nearing the $15,000 mark in savings, plus I also have $3500 in my other (expenses) account
I am living as though I am on centrelink. Only spending about $350 a fortnight.
As soon as I get my hands sorted out I will be looking for a 2nd job, 2 days a week so I can save even more. I would like to get to $3000 a month savings mark.
It can be tough to save hard like this but the rewards are and will be so great.
