So I'm 18 and saving for a house deposit (might aswell start now deposits are expensive). Working full time, living with parents and other half.
Trying to keep track of my spending and saving and need to talk about it somewhere else before I bore everyone else to death.
I start this with...
£10479.50 - In cash ISA
£200.00 - Premium Bonds
£2000.00 - Index Linked Savings Certificates
£434.79 - Spare current account
£39.00 - Change pot
£13153.29 - Total
Aiming for £20000 by april.
I know that won't be enough but any more and any longer sounds too scary.
