How much can you save?

tinkerbel

Still actually had to borrow from my savings this month so its not going well over here hoping to get some work though over the easter holidays and also to get my student loan and scrounge some other money from somewhere (anywhere!) I am currently £360 in 'debt' to myself, and I only currently have £180, need £250 for rent next week, so might have to borrow from the boyfriend. I don't know whats really happened with my money at the moment, overzealous saving at the start of the year perhaps..?

My ambition is buy a plot of land and have my own house built. £30000 for a plot of land is optimistic isnt it? Is there land in your area for that sort of price?

Woooooo.

I am a happy bunny (as its Easter soon I thought I'd go with that theme). After a complciated process with Aldmore they marged both my fixed rates and they will apply the higher rate soon. So I will get the higher rate. So Lokolo is very happy.

zag2me - I end up thinking the same. I get paid on the 6th every month so in the first 6 days I am skint as I usually think "Oh I have loads of money at the end of the month and am under budget", then go and spend it all, and realise I needed it to live for the next week

I have just about hit my next goal - teetering somewhere around the £10K mark. Might go just under the £10K mark with spending and bills to pay etc.

I am also starting work for an agency for the days I am not in uni which is £50 a day, plus the income from my part time weekend job, and my 21st birthday at the start of April I should be able to boost my savings by quite a bit over the next few months.

I'm aiming for £20K by the time I qualify in the summer of 2012. Who knows whether I will get there or not, but that is what I am aiming for.

Thats good. I don't really look at prices where I live, but I havent given up hope finding some at a good price.

Wow that's fantastic! Well done! If only I had done that while at uni I would have a house now, rather than being where I am. I have always saved but for short-term goals like holidays. It is horrible to think what I could have saved... :eek: Ok got to stop thinking that

I'm up to £4350.64 in savings now and need to save another £1000 by the beginning of May. I have not got paid yet so as soon as I do another £250 will go into this.

Train tickets are so expensive aren't they, it's mad! I'm so glad I live so close to the city centre that I can walk (30 mins) or cycle (5-10 mins) to work.

I can't wait till the end of the month to update my savings...
