I'm definitely in on this...

as mentioned before www.hotukdeals.com is an awesome source

A couple of other good sites are:

1. http://www.topcashback.co.uk this site provides special offers and gives you cash back on purchases on-line. I tend to use this any time I purchase something from Ebay as you get 40% back on the sellers fee

2. http://www.quidco.com this site also provides special offers and gives you cash back on purchases on-line. I used this when I bought my mobile phone which was already on special offer and got an additional £150 cash back on top which reduced my phone bill to £3 a month.

Great sites would highly recommend

Grr... its stuck on an advertisement it won't continue :frown: Will have to watch it tomorrow now . Teachers are a strange species.. they give off such an air of authority and righteousness.. and then you find out they eat roadkill.

Unbelievable. :eek: You sure you didn't hustle??

All the same, well done for it, takes willpower. Trust me, you are a minority.
I have £1.6 k, which for an 18 year old female is pretty good going :colonhash:

I could make it official if you guys like, have a survey of how many guys save as opposed to spend, you'll find majority of females will tend to spend rather than save.

I've got no savings at all, but not for lack of trying. Every time I manage to save any money, my other hand spends it :frown:

edited to add : I do have a house though so I guess my future is tied up in that...providing the housing market doesn't crash!

What the...I can't even.... Seriously how is that achievable? You trolling?
Thought I'd join you on here as I've recently got into saving.

I have a Barclay's ISA (Golden ISA, Issue 2) and have ~£4.5k in there at the moment. I get just over £7 per month interest on it which is better than nothing. Hope to have £6k in there by the time I graduate, then can concentrate on working full time.

I'm saving up for a flat in a new development near where I live. They sell at the moment for £45k for a one bedroom, so it seems like a good investment while the property prices are rock bottom. Plan to buy it mortgage free within two years and then rent it out while I'm still living in my partner's flat. Or move into our shiny new flat and rent his out; doesn't really matter.

EDIT: Also have £2k of Premium Bonds which were bought on my behalf when I was born. Not sure whether they're best staying as Bonds, or whether they'd earn me more in an ISA, but as my Grandad gave them to me I'm going to leave them as Bonds for now, as that was the gift he gave me.

EDIT 2: I'm 21 by the way, and have worked in whatever job was legal since I was 13. Have a slight obsession with money, however saving rather than splurging has only been a recent development.
