The 'We're saving for a deposit' thread

bodmil

I've been saving for 4 years, since I left university. I had a bit of a juggle diverting funds to pay off my student loan but once that was done it's all been purely for a deposit. Really can't wait to enjoy the fruits of my labour soon!

Officially saving for a house since May, but before that saved £5k for wedding and I wasn't very strict with myself there so it took 3+years. Gonna be much smarter this time

I've been saving for about 18months,

I got an insurance claim through following a car accident for about £3k and that started my savings accounts!

Can't believe i'm now in the position to buy though, its all been very quick!

Well done, peeps. :cool:

As to Jackies & bodmil for saving over £60k - wow! :T If I had £60k saved up I would be so tempted to go out and buy a sports car with it.


Last week I sent £10 to my ISA via BACS (just to make sure it did work - & sent to right bank account! :eek: ) and I have just authorised another BACS payment of £210, which, once it clears, gives me over £8,000 saved up.

Hi Guys,

On the long and winding road towards homeownership hopefully! Have started our savings off and now just trying to put as much away as possible. Just wanted to say hi :wave:

Have got £1305 in our Isa and hoping to have £25,000 by late 2015

So me and my partner are on low income compared to some only on 28k a yr for both of us so wondering if anyone can tell me how to generate more money through other means?

bodmil

Cassie, I think a long term financially stable future is dependent on a decent salary. Is there a way you can look at your career plan to work towards earning more? Perhaps doing some evening qualifications now will lead to a more prosperous future in the end?
