Very nice - is this a result of your very careful savings schemes
Or a vast salary
Or both :rotfl:
:rotfl:
To be fair...I've been saving since a very young age.
I feel as though I've been fortunate but also very careful with my money. I've always maxed out on interest where possible and have been risk averse towards a lot of my decisions. I've been chopping and changing savings accounts since I was 18 in order to gain the maximum interest.
Now I'm chopping and changing current accounts. :rotfl: I miss the days of ISAs paying 6+% interest.
Unfortunately, I'm part of the generation of savers who missed the opportunity when interest rates were 15+%. Boy, I would have been wetting my knicks back then.
:eek:
No doubt, joining MSE has helped a lot too. It's easy to forget how much saving you can do on here. You physically can't see the savings...but if you do rough calculations then you can see the ££££s add up over a few years.
:T
And know that I'm well and truly secured on the property ladder with another house earning some rental income...I feel as though I can get the cars that I've always dreamt of. I've got a S&S ISA that I'm not going to touch for another 10+ years...that's my Lamborghini fund.
:rotfl:
Although a £70,000 Nissan GT-R should keep me entertained for a while.
By the way, doctors don't earn as much as you think.

Where are people finding the straight cut Seabrooks please. Tia
I have this problem as well
On the mse cashback thread someone suggested that you can buy 2 Seabrooks for £2 in Morribobs for use on COS cashback but this might only be in the biggest stores
- still not found them myself and I've got 2 versions on both my and OHs COS“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove.

You are an inspiration to us all
Yes you def need a focus for saving - property or holidays or a nice car - otherwise its money sitting in a bank doing nothing.“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove.
