How much can you save?

rictus123

I know this is the wrong thread for it but i got some good holiday advice on here before. Going away with gf leaving around the 11th of July for a week. Somewhere cheap,hot and not a totally dump really is our requirements so far. She thinks we can do it all in for £600 each...realistic?

Cheapest realistic holiday iv seen is Bodrum for £427 so £170 each to last a week?

Bearing in mind we will probs have 1 or 2 drinks most nights(no more than that, cant drink much in the heat), breakfast/tea/lunch and food would all need to be included. £25 a day?

If you're willing to wait for a very last minute deal you may get something for that amount, admittedly it was prob self catering but I saw a week in Greece for £175 ish.

Anyway back on topic £250 into my regular saver today which is hopefully the year up and I'll be able to shift the money into my main savings account. I know I should shop around for best rate but as all my savings are for a deposit I want them somewhere I can get to them easily.

Once I've sorted the house I'll start saving more cannily including another regular saver as that was a very painless way of protecting £3000 which is exactly the amount I want to invest i some art in the next year or two (once I've got a new living room wall to put it on!)

A little early this month for me but I'm doing something special today.

I posted on page 1 of this thread in 2006 and have finally reached my target of 25k!! Whoop!

So today I have paid off half my mortgage with all my savings.

Now onto the next half!

Waiting for the end of this month but so far so good. I have managed to over budget for petrol and not spend so much by not going home and seeing family. 2 birds with 1 stone (:rotfl:)

Also managed not go out as much this month, budgeted £200, only spent £95 so far, but I think that will go up a little tomorrow afternoon

So far so good, waiting end of month for any celebrations though!

The payments are actually going to remain the same, I'm aiming to pay off the whole thing by the time I'm 35 :P
