How much savings do you have?

Haircut · 2 Aug 2011 at 18:48

I have money in savings accounts, though pretty much all of that is earmarked for a house deposit.
When I finally get my backside into gear and buy a place my savings will be pretty low for a while.

Well i'm only 17 but i've got £2200 in my personal account thats accumulated from work, and my parents have been putting money into a savings account since I was born that I will get when I move out, but I have no idea how much that is. Could be £500, could be £10,000 for all I know.

Heading to Uni next year though so I cant imagine much of it staying there for long.

Why not? Apply for student finance....

£9k fees, don't pay them back until you're earning more than what, £21k per annum?

Keep the money in your savings account for a holiday or something, a car or travel, tech and clothes

Three pigs, five sheep and TWENTY sacks of potatoes.

Yes, I'm a man of leisure.

About 200,000 bitcoins*

*may be a lie

About 2k in my current account and about the same in my university account. The former will be mostly going on a PC soon though and the latter will all be going on accomodation.

A fair bit at the moment. Just sitting there waiting for me to buy a flat though, for the deposit, plus extra for fees & basic furnishings.

More or less one year's net salary.

Berserker · 2 Aug 2011 at 21:11

Somewhere close to £100k, but almost all of that in a pension pot or retirement-linked savings, so not readily accessible this decade, or next, so safe from prying internet eyes.

I do, thankfully, have a small amount of near-instant access money for a rainy day (or a leaking roof), and have also got insurance policies to cover 75% of my net salary for a year should the worst happen. Not saying how much though.
