    For the last 3 years i have done the following. On the first Monday of the year i save a £1, £2 on the Tuesdays, £3 on the Wednesday, etc till i do £7 on the sunday. Then i start £1 on the monday, £2 on the Tuesday - etc. By the end of the year i have £1456 that i have not missed - it's a Christmas bonus. I manually do this as a reminder of the importance of saving - takes me about 2 mins a day.

      I've done the same but I started in March until February the following year to save towards paying my Council Tax in one lump sum.

      That's the easiest method, I get lost off with random amounts. If it's the same daily amount makes it so much easier. I might pay myself £28 every Monday.

    Compound Effect is best
    We start with 1p on New Year’s Day then 2nd Jan 2p do doubling each day. Gives you a small fortune on 31 Dec - Awesome 👏

    I use a credit card for all my purchases during the month. At the end of the month I get paid, then mortgage etc comes out, I pay the card off in full and what’s leftover I manually transfer to a top rate savings account. Seems the easiest way to me but I enjoyed the video going through various options. I think a lot comes down to willpower and how likely you are ti be tempted to spend your money.

    Sorry if this is a really stupid question but can I have two current accounts and more than one saving account (with different providers)?

      Not a stupid question at all. And yes you can have multiple current and savings accounts across any number of providers

    Hi Andy! How soon after switching (to claim a switch bonus) can I switch again or close that account? Thanks!

    • @BeCleverWithYourCash
      @BeCleverWithYourCash  2 года назад +1

      Pretty much once you've got the bonus you can switch again - unless the account offer specifically states you must stay for a set time.

    I'm waiting for someone to suggest a challenge where you save 1p in week 1, then 2p on week 2, the 4p on week 3 etc. So doubling each time...😉
