Help with saving

Options
afternoon

I am needing to know the best way to say for the next 6 months. Would be roughly putting away £500-£1000 each month but i am the type of person that i just spend it if i have it. Is there a way i can save it without touching it for around 6 months to help me save?

any help would be great

    Ok thats a nice lot of money.

    It really is better if you just gather the willpower to not spend it.

    First things first: ISA.

    ISA have a max of £3600 a year (tax year) so Sep--> March is 6 months. so thats £600 a month before its filled up.

    Then a regular saver.

    Here are the top regular savers, where you can save from £50-£250 a month. But its a regular saver, so if you stop saving, interest rate drops.
