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.”
