The 'We're saving for a deposit' thread

[Deleted User]

Another babysitting night tonight and another £15 added to my house deposit savings. I'm babysitting again tomorrow night - I think I'll break the £600 barrier

I don't know if it the talk of all the crunching or queasing or knowing that to get a mortgage in this climate is short of fantasising but I have lost my mad compulsion to squirrel as much as I can away We can all but pray that with all the printed money that is soon to flood through, that our savings still holds its weight. We wouldn't want the situation were a load of bread coast £40,000 now would we

Getting a mortgage is not as difficult as you think. I have spoken to advisors and done many quotes online. Once i have my 20k i really dont think it will be a problem

The lovely family I was babysitting for tonight gave me an extra £10 from what they should have given me so it adds another £5 into my deposit savings. :j
My total house savings since the beginning of Feb is now £605.85 :T

Maybe we should all band together and buy a mansion and all live there in money saving harmony

I am beginning to feel that way too. Given that it's going to be years until I have enough (I will be buying on my own), coupled with the fact that I'm getting b*gger all interest on my savings, really does make me think twice about saving... maybe that's what the government want though :rolleyes:

I am in the same boat as you, buying on my own after recently being dumped.

But dont worry, even if it takes you a few years to save. Just think of the joy of having your own place that you have worked hard to save up for and it is 100% yours

Can I join your thread? I've been a bit rubbish with my money since the beginning of this year and have managed to spend loads on nothing! e are saving for a deposit and want to save £30,000! So far we have got just over £3000. Hmmmmmm.
Be back with a proper plan after i've got the baby to bed....
