Good for you, clearing overdraft's can be really difficult to clear.

£1514

and I'm 16.

Saved up from birthdays and other occasions (like Eid holidays). I only like to do window shopping and prefer the feeling that if I want something, I have the means to buy it...and that's how I don't spend much on clothes/shoes etcs. I like keeping my money instead!

...I take the having money-as-a-safety-net thing quite seriously. :colondollar:

Absolutely nothing. Minus several thousand, if you're being precise. Hopefully not for much longer, and I can be in the black for the first time in 8 years or so.

I'm 18 and at the moment I have about 4k in an ISA and then about 1k to live on for the rest of the term. The 4k was mostly from inheritance though, I haven't actually saved much :p:

It all isn't very much though as I want to do a year abroad for which I have not nearly enough :emo:

The first day of the semester i think. Mine was paid on Monday, which is when semester (or rather exam period) started.

So, I currently have money, which is slightly more than no money, but less than more money.

Im currently on course to have racked up £1850 by the beginning of next month, hows everyone else getting on?

£1000 (probably less now about £950) but it's because my parents has disappeared to Hong Kong travelling for 3 months so it's just for food for 3 months, and the occasional travel back to visit my grandma, for food and keep her company for the weekends.

I see. So are you at uni at the moment? Its good to have a fair bit of money stashed away for situations like that.

Yup. Before when I had a job but I never really spent my money to be honest. But because I quit because of uni, I'm constantly worried that I have no money therefore, If I'm going out I'll take like £5 and that's pretty much it. I ALWAYS no matter what have £100 in both my accounts as "emergency" money although it only takes me £7 to go home return if anything happens but it's kind of like if I needed to go to hospital, or elsewhere I have extra money for taxi.

I don't spend too much on food either possibly £10 on food? I tend to keep food buying as low as possible and that's not even buying value items it tended to be some branded but not all but some a few names better than value (can't think what's it called at the moment) but I use things like mysupermarket.com and write down a list of what I want before venturing out to get these items. As I don't have my car with me at uni I walk pretty much everywhere just for like 2p cheaper jar of sauce but I think about the money I save and stuff.

However if I want something I do LOADS of research like a year or two of research before buying that said item because I want to make sure that it's definitely one for me. Then I do a month of shopping around for the cheapest deals and stuff.
