Have saved enough to pay for my wedding!!

Tamsalina

Martins Money tips has totally turned my life around.

This time last year I was living from wage to wage, I was always overdrawn and could never afford to do anything fun. I had awful trouble getting a mortgage due to my terrible finances.

I have since claimed back £3000 in bank charges which started me off and it's got better ever since!
I've moved my bank account from a fee paying one with useless benefits to one with high interest, (currently with Abbey which pays more than my savings account lol!) I have cashback and rewards credit cards which are paid in full every month and am just about to start stoozing on Egg money.
I have also moved all my hone utilities providers and have streamlined my food shopping which in total saves me about £170 a month.

In the past 12 months I have saved enough to pay for me and my partner to go and get married on the beach in the Cook Islands in March08. :j We would never have afforded this without changing our financial lifestyles.

I am feeling quite proud of myself but would never have been able to do it without the site so BIG THANKYOU!!! :T

Hi Stephb1986

Have you looked at our Banking and Saving area? You can make a pro active start on money saving for the future by ensuring you have the best bank account on the market, and if you can afford to start putting some money aside each month you can look at getting a market leading ISA to really maximise your cash.
