A few months back I got him to put what was then the full amount into their ISA and also to start a regular saver - they set up a standing order to put £500 into it a month.
So that was as far as I could push it with interest rates being so low.

He is now back working abroad. His salary is split - one part goes into his overseas account to pay for his everyday needs and £1500 is supposed to be going into his uk current account.
My thinking was that in a normal month I could more than the basic £500 into the regular savings - could put in up to £1000.

He has no outgoings, no car, no dependents, completely fancy free apart from the x box addition and an out of control spending habit which is now his current travel addiction.

He says he has had a lot of expenses to do with moving abroad but I can't see any obvious settling in expenses from the statement.

He still had a good balance in his current account but he has been using his credit card when travelling so his cc bills are creeping up, now at £600 a month - things like internal flights and bullet train trips costing hundreds etc.

So I reckon his weekly spend is now over £500 a week :eek: so at this rate by October he will need the money he has in his regular saver to keep his current account balanced.

Anyway he is on the way back from Japan tommorow back to base and communication is very sketchy, terrible wi fi but I've sent him numerous messages with the blunt truth.

I am hoping he will cancel the next trip to Japan in September but he might already be committed.

I would just let him get on with it? If he is earning a good wage and has no commitments and is enjoying himself I don't see the problem?
People have worse addictions than travel?
If he does end up using all his savings and broke then maybe he will learn to save in the future?
I spent a lot of time in Japan myself in my early 20's and it is an expensive place BUT you can't put a price on memories.
There's more to life than money in the bank.

I have a possible good APG coming up if their Flake Celebration Cake (£7.98 each, they bought two - wish they had bought 10:D) compares vs Morries at £6.99. One of the soft drinks is Pepsi Max 2L - should be okay: £1.00 vs £1.00 - but not if the other £1.00 soft drink is one that's £2.05 in M...

Dreadful mbuy lack of saving on the APG voucher. They even got a non-comparable £1.35 bread, not the Hovis that claims to be "Best" of Both one that's £1.35 in A and £1.00 in M:(. Why did they not go for 2 for £3 on the Ilchester slices? They missed the mbuy there and ended up paying more per unit - and then they ought to have saved themselves the money by not getting the wine:eek:.:rotfl::rotfl::(:rotfl:
