    I'm saving for:
    A good sized house deposit.
    A return plane ticket to visit one of my best friends in America in 2010.
    Because it's fun to have money!

    I want (this could go on forever but this is the main three.....)

    1) To save up at least £20000 for a house
    2) To go to New York next year
    3) To go to Australia maybe 2010?

    But i still have £897.60 of debt to go first!
