How much can you save?

sweetmate

Well been a tight couple of months so far paying for a holiday etc but managed to put 1500 into my savings so far but hopefully can start upping that next month.

Hope everyone else is on target-ish!

I'm going to the O2 Arena to see 1 of the Michael Jackson concerts in the summer so therefore my savings target for the year is being revised again to £9,000.

However, the Barclays shares have made some sort of a recovery since I my last post... but its still -22%

Painfully I parted with my life savings to buy a new car as mine was getting old.
I paid extra to get a newer reg and lower milage and to go to a "reputable dealer" - Polar ford.

I have had endless problems with them but the biggest one being I picked up the car 6 days ago (wednesday) and only been able to drive it for 3 of those days as it died on saturday. And basically they don't care.....

it's been in the repair shop since yesterday, i was supposed to be getting a call to pick it up today but havent heard anything. i'm not happy at all.
What i thought was going to be a good investment and a car i'd enjoy has turned into a nightmare. I feel like i've thrown all my savings down the drain.

Please cheer me up! i want to save like ive never saved before now to make myself feel better

Awwwwwww! Hugs! You may have spent your savings but at least you didn't get into debt for the car, which, had you not had any savings, you'd have had to do.

On a more promising note, a quick Google of "Polar Ford" shows that they are one of York County Council's approved traders (!), which probably means that you should contact the council's trading standards department and complain about the service (or lack thereof) that you've received...

You're right that's a better way to look at it

I've got my car back now, it's so much better to drive.
I will be putting a complaint in. never had service like it before!

thank you
