You free yourself from consumerism, and begin to see the world of finance in a whole new light. Plus, you get to save an enormous amount of money in the process. Who wouldn't want to do that? :) Taking control is quite liberating. You free yourself from consumerism, and begin to see the world of finance in a whole new light.

I envy how organised you seem to be with your finances. The closest I've come to hedging is when I was single and working I'd lift a tenner each day going to work and whatever was left at the end of the day went in a bucket in my room. It's actually surprising how much you 'get' in a very short time. My OH's bank do a thing on her debit card too, each spend is rounded up to the nearest pound and the difference is sent to her savings account. So if she spends say £154.27 in tesco, they get 154.27 and her savings account gets 73p. Since most purchases these days are done on the card it very quickly adds up to a not unsubstantial amount. Now if only we didn't keep dipping it! btk this is a really interesting concept. I envy how organised you seem to be with your finances.
