How much can you save?

wiseman405

Hey,
My first year of saving is over

I had a goal back in october last year to achieve by this october, and i have thrashed it by well over £2,000

I'm so pleased with my current progress. Got my ISA filled up for this year, and my regular saving account has just matured. Now looking for an instant savings account to drip feed into my new regular saver

At a very rough guess i have maybe saved about 85% of my yearly wage.

Thats after tax

All going well, and its thanks too you guys who helped me choose my accounts!!
I'm in a similar situation as Mcsaver . Just a little younger

Thanks again
Tom

You should put your aim in your signature, and what you're saving up for. As currently I have no idea what you've got and why!!!!

I get bored and lonely during my uni days when I have no work.

Give it a few weeks and I'll never be on

What job do you have btw?

wiseman405

Just work for my dad. Wholesale bakery. Just adult minimum wage

I'm happy he's happy
Although he tells me i am 100% needed in the company which i'm really happy about
I'm lucky really just walked into a job a week after leaving school Might be mine one day

Used to have a little ebay business as well, brought in a few thousand pound, but i wasn't a saver back then so you can guess what i did with that ....

Bought more stock... Then spent it
And thats how i started off my ISA as well
Thanks
Tom
