So being an apprentice, I obviously don't earn a fortune. However, I am and always have been good at saving. I've found that as long as you get into the habit of saving it's something you struggle to get out of. Believe me when I say it's nice seeing your savings build up! Now, I spend on average around £250 a month on travelling by either bus or train (or both) to my workplace.

As you can see below, each jar is simply labeled with the location and the year they took the trip.

Saving up for something you really, truly want.

When we travel I save everything from our adventures. Ticket stubs, maps, brochures, fliers, little keepsakes, all of it. I’d scrapbook them occasionally but mostly these things would sit in a box …
