The finite-ness of saving

I found saving to be overwhelming.

Many media stories and adverts talk about what feel like large blocks of money (£10 or £100 or £1000) that I thought I needed as an initial amount before I could start saving.

My solution was to save small amounts so that I barely noticed them and I knew that I could afford them.

It can seem like an endless process but I find it useful to remember that if I save 50p every day this week then I will have saved £3.50 by next week (7 days x 50p).

Which would be £15 each month (30 days x 50p). Which would be £180 in a year (12 months x £15). I find the sheer relentlessness of the maths of saving to be a comfort.
