Money challenges can be a great intro to saving, with many finding the fun/ competitive side to it helps them save more than ever before.

Has anyone ever taken on one of these challenges?

Or, have you ever made up your own challenge?

> I love to use Monzo and IFTTT for the integration challenges e.g every time I buy coffee, order from Uber Eats, move money to my savings.

I’ve seen lots of people mention IFTTT but haven’t really explored it myself!

Are the coffee/ uber eats challenges already set up on IFTTT with Monzo or did you create them yourself?

So could you create something like “add £5 into holiday savings, every time you visited the gym”?

With the gym being a set location on google maps etc? Or is that too complex?

> turn on my alarm when I leave home

Just been reading about different options and how you can link it to your electricity/ smart meters, even things like “turn lights on when the sun goes down” 😂

I feel like this kinda thing could get pretty creepy if in the wrong hands haha?!

Love this - perfect for when you’re away on holiday too

(also can’t help but think Macaulay Culkin could have benefitted from something like this in Home Alone 🙈)
