I was talking to a friend who's 4 year old daughter received so much birthday money, she opened her a bank account and she's now stocking up those savings to use redecorate her bedroom in a years time. I thought this was such a lovely idea, I still remember opening my first bank account and how much I enjoyed saving those pennies.
This got me reminiscing about all the things I've saved up for along the way. It makes for a lovely list of memories, in particular the memory of the pride and excitement I felt when I reached my goals! Here's my savings memory list:
Ice cream and souvenir money for holidays
A Sindy doll kitchen
Bermuda shorts from the market
Getting my ears pierced
DMs and an army surplus bag for school
Tickets to see REM at my first solo concert with friends
A velvet jacket
Floorboards for my bedroom
An ultra classy holiday with friends to Benidorm (after a long summer working for £2.90 per hour!)
The end of school girl's holiday to Tenerife
University
Inter-railing around Europe
An amazing New York art trip
Glastonbury tickets
My first car (I still have it!)
A deposit on a house with my future husband
Our magical honeymoon
Maternity leave
... And then we hit babies and spending lol, I guess that's a whole other post! Do you remember what you used to save for before every penny started to count for so much? What is the first big thing you remember saving up for?
