Yeah that is true!!
But to have enough, to go out for dinner with a loved one, or goto the pub with an old school friend and not have to worry about how much you spend would be lovely!House Deposit ≈£10,600.00 (25/03/14)

Had a chat with my ex last night and a few things that i had suspected were confirmed.
Needless to say i've been in a sh*tty mood all day.
Now, usually when I'm in this mood i would have taken the £500 quid in my account and bought something to make me feel better. £500 just happens to be the perfect amount for a PS4!
But instead i put £530 into my savings... taking it up £800.
Its nice seeing my savings jump up like that
I hope this means i'm getting used to saving... and its not just a one off... so that next time i save instead of spending again!
It's a start for saving for a flat to hopefully kick start an idea i have for Property Development

!!! last year was my parents 25th wedding anniversary and my parent have recently (my dads birthday is today) turned 50, they have booked a fancy holiday in america for september time this year.
so as a present me and my brother are saving up for the year and going to give them a decent amount of spending money, so they can enjoy them selves while they are out there!
id love to get them $1000 however i think that might be a stretch! anyways i better add Holiday to my signature!!House Deposit ≈£10,600.00 (25/03/14)
