Jason, I think you have very odd ideas about money, security, financial planning and savings.

I was the other way round, the "I could drop dead tomorrow" attitude got me into a lot of debt. I no longer want to owe a penny to anyone, no bank or person and it's liberating

That mentality doesn't mean you have to run up debt. I don't run up debts, however I do work hard for the extra cash to do things I'd never normally do.

I need to save, I have nothing set aside apart from £5 in my isa.

I'm poorer than I was 5 years ago but happier.

Isn't the OP the guy on $15k a year, aged 30, living in his brother/friend's house? I'm not knocking the savings part, it just seems an odd target given the circumstances.

I've probably got the wrong guy though

I can save £5k in a month if I wanted, so I'm out.

Please do not save 25k and waste it on a new car.

This. Especially if you'll be 35 and still living in your brothers house at that point.

Worst "I have loads of money but lack everything else" thread ever.

Try being a contractor. It forces you to save for a rainy day and no job

Plus side, I can save about £3000 a month currently, but my current contract is looking very dodgy at the moment at the worst time of the year.

2 kids and a wife no chance
