As posted...why worry what others are saving..just do you best without leaving yourself short...
Theres a regular survey which suggests over half the population haven't got a grand to their name...and thats not surprising..
Is doesn't mean they are wasters...maybe they just can't afford to save....mortgages ...families...cars and compulsory pensions are enough for most people..

yea I agree with you here. You can only do what you can do. Folks don't talk about their financial situation and it can feel isolating sometimes when you trying to improve things. I guess I was hoping to hear that I am not the only one who finds it hard to save. I just did a quick google and I think the 'average' monthly saving contribution was well under £ 100. I find it easier saving for my daughter than myself which I guess is just parents all over. Also have times where I am 'good' then go and do something silly and spend too much on something. Funny how food and money seem similar...
