Here's another saver to join the club! :P
I've only started saving recently, I had few hundred euros saved up before graduation (June), then thanks to my relatives and friends, I got almost up to 2000€ via cheques and generous gifts mostly in cash form. But then I decided to spend some of that, and even offered to pay half of my friend's flight ticket's price when she came to visit me from the Netherlands... Generosity that I'm kinda regretting at the moment. ^__^
I'm still going quite strong however, and have about 1700€ on my bank account. Didn't get an official summer job (thanks to living in the middle of nowhere), but I'm getting occasional gigs helping my mum on her catering business on weekends, so that should earn me few hundred euros before September comes. I also sacrificed 4 hours of my night today to put up lots of comic books and other stuff for sale on a Finnish auction website. If I manage to sell most of those, that will earn me 50-100€. Oh, and I did business with a friend from the USA via skype, and managed to sell her some old Japanese comic books I collected a few years back and no longer need... Got 40€ for those!
Luckily my parents have already promised to buy me a laptop for uni (birthday present) and pay for my flight to Scotland (graduation present), so pretty much everything I manage to save will be actually saved, not used! I'm actually kinda hoping to keep saving during university, since I'm taking a loan and I want to be able to pay it back as soon as possible. That's why I've already been visiting the budgetbrain website a lot. Budgeting can get addictive!
