2015

A question about : 2015

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY! Here is to a prosperous and debt free 2015.

This is the 89th month of this challenge, which was first started by Batgirl, in September 2007.

Thanks to Batgirl for starting it, Emmaglet, Nat21luv, Monkeynut, Sweetpeas, Purpleroses, JesaRose, MizMir for keeping the thread going.

I know this first post is long, but please read as it give tips on how this challenge works. Some of the content has changed

If you're new to the challenge don't be scared - here's how it works:

The aim of this challenge is to make Ј10 extra a day everyday for the month. A lot of people think this is impossible but it can and has been done, over and over. If you feel Ј10 is too much why not start at Ј5 or if you're brave join those who aim for Ј20 a day! Anything extra you make is great so set whatever target you think you can manage.

It also doesn't have to be Ј10 each and every day - some days you make more and some days you make less, but aim for Ј300 extra at the end of the month.

The idea is that everyone posts how they are making extra money and these shared ideas help all of us to learn new ways to help cut debt or earn/save money.

  Good luck to everyone and happy new year to you all lets hope it is a good one

• Me please! Ј10 a day is my aim again
• Hello all.I asked Emma if I could take over Jan as new year, new start for me, need to find a salaried job and have a lot of financial goals in mind, one being having a free christmas. So I thought running the thread at the start of the year would keep me focused.
  I have got rid of virgintv, so need to buy a roku set top box x 2 and set everything up ready for switchover on Saturday. This is going to be fun reprogramming wireless printer, and new password and ip for internet etc.
  I found that we were paying a lot for something where we watched a handful of channels. And prices go up in February.
• Thanks for new thread. Did well on my December challenge so I'd like to sign up forЈ10 a day again please.
• I'm going to go all in for Ј1,000 in January. Crazy, I know, but I've got a large amount coming from a freelance job.

• Can I join your gang please.
  I think Ј10 might be pushing it so could I go for Ј5 a day to start with.
• Hi I'd love to have a go. Can I aim for Ј5 a day as I'm a boost your income newbie? Not quite sure where I'm going to find the time outside my teaching job but I'm up for it. Hoping to move and downsize this year so lot's of opportunities for de-cluttering.
