Frugal Fun with our Interest Beater Challenge

This will Test your Will Power

In 2007, I began the Billy Can Plan to help generate extra savings and then, in 2008, along came the Interest Beater Challenge. To celebrate 5 years of interest beating and 15 years of assorted money challenges, we're having a creative makeover.

For those of you who haven't had the chance to read all about it in the Frugal Forums this is a bite-sized. photo roundup of the 2014 challenge to beat the interest rates (shouldn't be too difficult in the current economic climate) and earn ourselves a better rate of interest than any of the instant access, cash ISAs are offering WITHOUT needing money in the bank.

STEP 1 - Go get your old Billy Can

(It's time he brightened up a bit, don't you think?)

 

 

STEP 2 - Turn it into a Frugal Faberge-esque Billy Cans!

(Beads, buttons and recycled greetings cards)

 

 

STEP 3 - Prepare this year's notebook & diary (or add more pages to your old ones)

(This is the Frugaldom cash cow notebook, it can keep an eye on all the savings)

 

 

STEP 4 - Decorate your magic money box

(Recycled Christmas cards and shiny buttons can provide the basics)

 

 

STEP 5 - Pop a penny in your Mo(ney) Jo(urney) bag

(No excuses for losing your mojo now!)

 

That's it - 5 simple steps to preparing for this year's interest beater challenge and, as usual, it is totally free to join us in the forums and take part.

 

See you there!
