How much £ have you got saved away?

[Mochachino]

Dont have to post a reply can just vote if you wanna keep it private.

Ive got nada saved at the moment, did have about 1k saved to move out with but spent it on the car. Ideally want 2.5k saved, which isnt much really.

How much you got saved?

[johnlambert]

woulda had a grand saved now but i bought the GTi..

back to square one...!!
it sucks..

[P90PTS]

Millions.

[-GG-]

Enough for a clean 'S', I'l be skint when insurance comes around though.

[steviee90]

got my holiday coming up so got about £1100 saved just now, looking to have maybe £1500 by the time i go.... 800 for the holiday 700 for saxo goodies lol

[BBM]

-17p debt ftl

[jeffchiz]

£1500 in debt cus of the saxo! and still rising! lol thank god for student over drafts (interest free)

[Jim-Bob]

I've got some saved at at the moment, but half of it is for a holiday with the missus and the other half is accounting for car parts...

Skint FTW!!!

(Should take up smoking and drinking would be far cheaper than cars and parts :wall:)

[Mochachino]

I forgot about a Negative £ option lol

[P90PTS]

What's debt?

[djflipsaxo]

im a secret millionaire

[jonathon5]

Alot will depend on your age, upto the age of 26 I had nada.

Now at the age of 36 saving is much more important.

When you get a mortgage everything changes

[jonathon5]

It would be an interesting question to see how much debt people have.

My guess is people would have low debt.

[Andy_K]

Got a few quid stashed away. Saving up for a house deposit so put a few hundred away every month and try not to touch it.

[dannyboy2005]

I cant believe how many of you are happily telling the world your personal financial issues.

For me, Shhhhh

[Andy_K]

I try not to have any as much as possible. Saying that I have a couple of hundred quid on a credit card but pay big lumps of that off every month. Also have student loan, but tend not to count that as 'debt' as such.

I know people who have £20K+ of personal debt (not including mortgages)! Cant see the point really as they will be paying it off for years before they are back in the black

[Dom]

For me, I have £3.65 in my account. I have a giant stack of debt for a 18 year old though.

[Dave89]

I have sweet naff all.
Uni is a killer on the old pennies lol

[MrHouston]

Havn't got anything in a savings account.. but I always like to keep money left in my account in case of an emergency :)

[jonathon5]

I will start a new thread on debt.

[Jenson]

I inherited 75k from grandparents, only problem is I can only have it when I'm 21, 3 years to go ...

[Flatarch]

Millions of shit sarcasm.

Boring.

[Shanukes]

got just over 2k in the bank, but that is all going in 3 weeks when the bodyshop bill comes for my car :(

[CHIP]

I did have about a grand... But a large part of that has been spent recently on a back axle and protective gear for the bike (ie. leather's, a new lid etc)

So it's been spent wisely. Still got some left but need to start saving it back up again.

[haz_pro]

i have about 3K, but 1 of this is student loan so it doesnt count.

So about 2K, pretty good for a student ide say, but i do have a job aswell.

nice dipper for some property :y:

[Tommo87]

I've got plenty saved up just waiting till I'm 25 to access it then go buy my Dads house for what he paid (so I'll be a mortgage free home owner) then use what's left and possibly buy another Civic or just stick it back in the bank.

[eewun]

i can top that!
currently about 4.5K and another 2.5k in a few weeks from my compo.
now thats not bad for a student :)
most money ive ever had! sadly tho, it will mostly need to be paid back in a few years so not totally mine. cant forget that.

[frankie]

currently have £40 in my account.

ive got a full tank, so will last me 2 weeks i hope, bet being at college and spending about £30 of fuel is killer.

[Mr_X]

[dav0506]

[Matt1-vts]

[Add91289]

How can you have so much as a student! Im barely living on my student loans/grants including uni bursaries! Atm I only have a a few hundred left after paying my rent! :n:

[H-Unwin]

[Peter_D]

I cant believe how many of you are happily telling the world your personal financial issues.

For me, Shhhhh

What does it matter, it aint gonna affect ya if people know :homme:

I've got fuck all just now, 30 quid in my wallet, 60 in my account. Got paid off about 2 month ago so struggling to find another job

Owe mam alot, probably about 8k still but the payments have stopped until i get another job.

Im owed about 900 quid from various people though so need to collect that

[eewun]

Well my folks wanted to help me out at uni as they did for my sister....so they pay my rent. VERY lucky, but tbh, i know a lot of people who have the same deal...... the gf, flatmates, friends. not rare.
im not a rich boy or anything but they wanted to give me the best opportunity to go further.

Plus, im not a big spender and dont need many luxuries in life so its just added up over three years.

Ah i assumed you would be in first year, i should have same as you when i get to third year hopefully. Maybe even more if i get a decent placement year which would be awesome:D

Most people i know who got a placement in my course in london were getting around 26 k woo. Obviously before tax though and with the lack of jobs atm will be hard to find one!

didnt bother doing a placement, wish i had tbh though. very hard finding work without much experience.
i know a lot of people who tried and couldn't find anything though so might not always go to plan.
however, a close mate got one at rolls royce!! great opportunity

yeah, im hoping that ill be able to find a decent placement otherwise ill be disapointed!

[johnr32]

26k before tax as a student on a placement seems very high regardless of location. What course are you doing as Ive never seen anything like that before

[haz_pro]

Computer information systems, the people i knew had jobs shaddowing bank branch managers and also some on the more technical side with desgining MIS etc.

I went to a placement fair at my Uni just before christmas and there were some placements with intel which were paying over 26k, and some with barclays at around 23-24k, how ever they obviously want the students who are doing best and there probably isnt many places availible.

I would be happy with getting anything over 12k for my placement, but knowing there are better offers i am going to strive to get one!

[tecwenlovesfood]

Not a fucking lot

[Jay_]

uni student n i have 300 stashed away....should be moving to the next bracket when i get paid.....

[adam2350]

Went down to the petrol station this morning carrying a huge bag of coppers... Seriously :(

[Predator_R32]

i did have about 13k in at one point and then i bought this golf

i think i have about 3k but also have a claim to come in and a few things to sell so it should take it to over 6 :)

[Fergie]

Nada at the moment. Just bought a new sofa and chair, stuff to decorate the house and I have 2 children and a big mortgage. Oh and two cars which requires petrol and we all know how expensive that stuff is.

[Riko360]

I'm saving for a house. I got a little saved! Well I think it's realistically going to be a flat with how much everything costs my way !

[bullit]

Now at the age of 36 saving is much more important.

This lol. Ive worked 2 months of this year so you need something to fall back on.

[brianS]

savings?
i went travelling with my savings. well some of them still have about 20k tucked away in various bank accounts (no you cannot have the account details). could do with dipping into it but the exchange rate is screwed going this way atm so its pointless.

[newqs36]

enough to keep to keep me plodding alongs and messing with the car, come inu that will all change

[Viper]

i don't see how people can feel so comfortable discussing how much money they have with people :fcuk:

[moxy89]

6k plus and im 20, however i work 64 hours a week so the part time job wages just goes in a bank that i cant touch...

[Krys_23]

Had £500 two days ago.. Payed for Road tax, Shopping for house, bought gti engine and gearbox so currently £9 in the bank.

[vtrsarah]

Did have 5k but thats dissapearing quick :(

[rey]

I'm in the red atm. Not too badly though, so I'm happy enough.

[bullit]

i don't see how people can feel so comfortable discussing how much money they have with people :fcuk:

[valencia]

enough to get me by for now

[Philly1983]

We (my lass and I) have got about 14k tucked away.....until June then all the bills for our wedding in August need paying LOL

[Liamm]
