Emma's House Deposit Journey

x0emz0x

Hi all,

I thought I would start a diary to try and keep me motivated.

I'm 23 and live with my parents. Me and my boyfriend have been together for 5 and half years and are now looking at moving in together. To do this, I want to save for a deposit in order to be able to own my own house.

I currently have £500 saved and am looking for new ways to save money, as little as it may be. Any money I save by using vouchers or winning on SwagBucks, I am going to put the equivalent amount into my savings account.

Alongside this, from September, I will be able to save a minimum of £800 a month, so hoping I can get to my goal as quickly as possible

Good luck Emma!!

£800 is a really nice sized chunk to put away for your deposit!!

Thanks!

I'm lucky in that my parents don't ask me to pay any rent, so I am able to put away a decent sized amount each month (I hope to put away more than £800, but that is the minimum I will put away each month)

I was in the same position (very luck too). It's such a huge help!

I'll check in and see how you're getting on :-)

Good luck Emma, I'm in the same position. I started my savings diary a week ago and it really helps you keep on track

Thanks Hayley

Just checked my Quidco account and I have £25.15 to be paid to me woo. So waiting for that to be paid, and it will be going into my savings
