Saving for a deposit
SolvingDebtCrisis
Posts: 34 Forumite
I have read a lot of mse posts initially I came across the website when I had my debt LBM.
I have cleared all my debts and now a fervent money saver. So far I have saved £6k for house deposit.
I want to track my saving journey and house buying in the future.
Forthcoming bills to pay yearly are car mot, possible repairs, road tax and yearly car insurance. Also partner is inviting me to go for holiday so it's very tempting to go.
This will be a way to track my saving and spending progress, my aim in near future is to get a mortgage.
Savings
£4k Isa1 at 3%
£2k Isa2 at 3.5%
In theory I can save @ £500 monthly if no emergencies and no silly spends in between.
Your comments/advice most welcome.

In general, it is for site admin to change user names - you need to start a new user idSolvingDebtCrisis wrote: »Also I don't know how to change user name, as it is now not the current situation as I have no debts.
