How much do you earn and able to save a month?

I just left my last job and earned 3467 and saved 2250 but had to pay 660 rent.


My new job salary is 2250ish and will hopefully be saving 1800 a month. No rent to pay though...


I think you when it comes to it, you don't actually need that much stuff... i feel fortunate i paid my car off a number of years ago so the cost of it is 30 quid road tax, insurance of 300 a year and fuel...


I think you can still live a good life on around 500 a month excluding rent and bills.

DH is earning about 1700 a month at present. we've never had so much! saving about £500 a month. however as its agency work this wont last forever and he'll probably go back to around £1200 soon

earn £1440 every four weeks and save £550. OH earns £1250 and overpays his mortgage by £300pm

I really wanted to buy OH some personalised number plates for his birthday this month but would involve eating into the savings!

I earn about 1200 and regularly save £750 , although I do dip into the savings most months (birthdays, holidays etc).

This only since I became debt free.

It took me 7 years to pay off my debts and I cut back so much to get there I've forgotten how to spend money.

Not that I'm complaining

I earn £1638 a month and spend a fair bit on the mortgage. I am saving £50 a month for Christmas and holidays/presents etc. I am going to try to save £25 for a kitchen fund and emergencies starting this payday.


I do waste a fair bit of my wages on silly things and need to think smart. I am glad to learn from everyone else and this site cheers me up.

I earn about £4,600/month and I put £600 into my pension and £600 into savings a month, although I've just bought a house as a first time buyer and so I've not been saving recently as have had a tonne of stuff to buy!

I also save my bonus I get every 6 months, so about £16k a year on top of that.

But seeing all of you guys I realise I am obviously frittering away a LOT of my money - time to sit down and budget and be a bit better at actually saving! Have no idea what I spend it on.

About to move into a house share following a break up, aiming to save 800pcm

I earn £1,100-£1,300 per month roughly, plus any extras I get in (like my recent Children's Bond), and aim save at least £1,000 per month.

I still live with my parents so my rent is only £25 a week. Other than that I'm extremely strict with my money. My pony only gets the essentials and I hardly ever treat myself. I have a massive savings goal to reach!

I wish I could save more, I only get £858 (soon going up to £910 thanks to a pay rise) a month. I am also paying off a loan to my dad, but worked out if I pay him £50 a month I will be debt free in 11 months
I also own my car (it's a 15 year old Focus, TBH I don't really care what car I drive as long as it gets me from A to and I do have Sky TV and a mobile so thats my only luxuries really.
