The results would be much more meaningful if they were in answer order rather than "popularity" order. That way you could easily see what the average was, and where you came in comparison to it.

True - but the software doesn't do it I'm afraid - however when we get the final result we can do it that wayMartin Lewis, Money Saving Expert.

im in one of the latter options, but this is because im saving for a house, rather than saving for a rainy day.
having said that, i dont plan on moving into a house until i know i have enough money to not only put down a substantial deposit, but also having money put by for emergencies.know thyselfNid wy'n gofyn bywyd moethus...0 -

I think it's interesting. Do remember quite a number of people tend to have large amounts of liquid cash if they've sold a property and are looking to buy a new one. It's a very common question on here.
