Hint of the Week Competition

Hi,

We are now giving away one 12 month membership per week to the person who donates the best tip to the Savings Vault. Everyone can enter. If you are already a member you win an extra 12 months added on to your existing membership.

This week Samantha Gilmour has won 12 months membership to the Savings Vault with this great hint:

Sticker chart website rewards mums too!

As a teacher and a mum to preschoolers, I used to find myself spending a great deal of time and money making sticker charts and buying books of stickers to promote and reward good behaviour...but not any more! I found a fantastic site on-line that lets you print out a huge variety of stickers and charts for free. There are so many inspiring themes with close to 200 different sticker sheets to choose from, and each sticker sheet has 30-40 stickers! And I will never need to sweat over designing and making kid-friendly sticker charts again as there are over 75 different designs to chose from!

Editor's note: These stickers can also be printed on plain paper, cut out and glued on.

The best way to win a membership is to write helpful, interesting, unique and error free hints. You need to include how much money you saved, how you saved it, what you did and how much you paid. The more detail you provide the more likely you are to win a 12 month membership.

You do not have to answer all the questions to enter the competition. Each hint entered is judged separately. If you send 5 hints. They will be considered 5 separate entries. Which means you have a much higher chance of winning by entering one or two top quality hints than if you entered twenty brief, vague tips. Quality is everything!

If you do not have an answer to a question, or it does not apply to you, please leave it blank.

Thanks for giving it a go. Good luck!

Many grins,
Fiona

Whittling Away Our Inheritance

This month Catherine asks:

"This might sound a bit silly but I'm after some advice about how not to spend an inheritance. Whenever my husband and I use all our pay, we simply start using our inheritance money. Sometimes we just use the credit card as we know when we get home we can just transfer the money out of our savings account. Please help us to stop this nasty habit that will leave us with no more deposit for a house!"
