Thanks:D

I'm going to up my regular savings from£250 - £300 a month hopefully starting in May

Another £250 to my saving courtesy of payday. Not as much as previously but I enjoyed my 2 weeks off at easter and my mortgage went onto SVR so that now costs me £150 more.

How sad is that? Logging on to the bank account to transfer the excess into savings at this time in the morning?!

Despite only making half the surplus I'd predicted this month (thanks to having to replace my computer and buying mum's 65th birthday presents - via Quidco!) I have made it to 50% of my Rainy Day Fund. I now have three month's net wages saved.

V. pleased.

Hi everyone,

Just a quick update from me... Havent got an exact figure at the mo, but have saved over my target this month, was hoping to reach £17,750 but think it is more around the £17,800 - not much difference, but every little helps :-)

Well its payday Wont be putting my money into ISA yet but hopefully i can get £5k by the end of the year! Not much considering what i earn and how long iv been here but iv had debt to deal with first! Only 18 so i think i have at least 5 years before i buy anywhere but who knows! If its 5 years away then £8k a year(Easy achievable with my next 2 pay rises) il have £40k. Wont even need all of it if im buying with my gf.

There are very few 18/19 year olds who can say they've dealt with their debt and saved £5,000 and what's more, they have a plan to save more.

Well done :T

I have done that many a time on payday! Would have done today but had a busy work day and was already there at 7.30. Now that's what I call sad:(

Not a bad month for savings for me in the end. £220 pounds saved towards my holiday from April temp agency overtime and my May salary was up from overtime at my regular job during March so another £140 towards the holiday and £80 in the savings for thing like puppy neutering :rotfl:and car insurance!

Not quite as sad as panicking at 00:10 as to why I hadn't been paid yet! _pale_
£751 off target this month.
