There’s only a couple of days to go and FebuSave has well passed 9,000 supporters. Check out the pledges made during the month of February by lots of amazing supporters.
We’re now heading into the final week of FebuSave and the support numbers continue to grow and are now approaching 9,000 who have committed to save during the month of February. If you are yet to join, come and show your support for women to be more financially aware to be able to successfully save for their future. I’ve done well! I have foregone buying ‘treats’ for the entire month thus far. This was my FebuSave pledge. This has included no trips to Dan Murphy, no lattes, no Take Away meals and no eye-brow attention (ugh), and these small sacrifices has generated an estimated saving of $180. Think of the savings generated over the year, by being a little bit aware and a little bit disciplined! My #1 FebuSave tips would have to be “Before going ahead with any purchase, ask yourself "Do I really NEED this?". The more you can answer 'No' to those small purchases, the quicker you will reach those larger goals.”
Valentine's Day has always been a day to be acknowledged in this household. Not so much for its tradition and definitely not for its commercial standing but it was the day, 11 years ago that my partner and I officially announced we were a couple! This date is now a secondary anniversary, as we married two years ago.
I guess with this, it made it easier to announce last week, that we really should skip Valentine's Day this year, for it is less important and with my commitment to ANZ's FebuSave, we should hang on to our pennies! Now it's beginning to feel like FebuStingy!!
My FebuSave efforts have been cruising along quite nicely. I've not yet felt tempted to splurge on treats, yet! I will admit, I like a glass of wine in the evening when it's time to unwind but so far, so good!
Yesterday, I was rewarded for my participation in this amazing campaign by having my profile included amongst some amazing Australian women. What a privilege and how humble do I feel?
