Doesnt appeal to me at all really. Even when I'm on holiday I get bored really quickly and need something to occupy my mind.

What would you spend the money on then?

Wow! :redface: Bored on holiday :redface:

And me, I'd save it for uni :biggrin:

Likewise. It's probably the wisest choice to be honest, in addition to being the most sensible.

Yeah, unless someone doesn't feel that uni is for them.

Saving up with a house doesn't really help me decide where I should save my money. I was thinking of putting some of it in a mixture of funds (ie corporate bond, emerging market funds) and then some in the classic savings account.

Any comments?

Sadly it no longer looks as though i will have money spare from this student loan payment.

I should have enough money for general stuff though so i think i shall get a job in April and save substantially through summer.

So I bought a new laptop, a new camera and ****, I am broke. Well, but I am pretty happy.

Probably wont be going to the UK next year for studies because of the money issues, but .. that's alright too.
I actually seem to be bleeding money, which really is not a great feeling. I have a part time job whilst at uni and a job in a care home when back up north for the hols.

I think my most subsantial savings will come from learning to cook more and go out less (pretty obvious I know). We shall se how things turn out :smile:

Discipline is key my friend. What are your savings at at the moment? Anything in particular you're saving up for?

I have a modest amount already, I'm not saving for anything in particular. More just for life in the later years of uni. Will probably need to run a car for placements and when my brother goes away to uni, I can see my parents having to compensate a bit.
Alright savers, whats the chat? How you lot getting on?

About 20 Euro left and that'll be saved at least until february. Sigh.
Thought I would share a saving blunder with you all that I encountered the other day, thought it will have to be vague incase the person comes on here!

I went to go see a friend who was going back to a study abroad program. The friend hadn't sorted out ANYTHING for it. Including looking at her bank balance. After working out all of their costs, I realised they had a margin of £35 for anything to go wrong. and this £35 was the last of the overdraft.

Moral of the story: Have a permanent amount of savings that you don't go under , or touch, unless in an emergency!
I was almost tempted to buy a Macbook Pro earlier today, but I then I reminded myself of my customary stingy ways. Instead I relented and spent £28 on a jacket, which I actually needed, to be fair.

£1500 it remains.
Why did ya want a Macbook?

I could be doing with a laptop for college and when I eventually start uni. A Macbook may be overkill though I think lol.
