Suprised how many people have said they will give it a go considering all that iv heard on news just now is cost of living keeps going up and everyone's struggling. 15k by the end of 2012 will allow me to move out early 2013. Just before I turn 22 then my next plan will be mortgage free by 30.Work in progress...Update coming July 2012.

I think I should give this a go too! We're in a great position where we have 2 incomes at the moment, hence some big mortgage overpayments, but in 2012, we're having a baby so our savings will be much lower.
12k maybe do-able, I'll have to see, and maybe update the target once little 'un arrives:) - but please include me in this. Thanks.Feb 2012 - onwards MF achieved

been looking at Vegas.
I've been to Las Vegas many a time and it's not my cup of tea. Imagine a super-sized Blackpool but without the sea and you're not too far off.I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.
