I'm saving but only for the sake of doing it. Never know when you will need money.

Same really, I'd hope that my money would go towards a holiday, car (audi a4 hopefully), or carry on saving for whatever the future may hold for me; something useful to me.

I'm saving to pay off my student loan. I want to get rid of it in one big hit but it's going to take at least another year of saving and not spending much

house and car

A decent trip to either NY or some tropical paradise for me and the bird.
A house.

For those of you saving to pay off a student loan - don't. It is lunacy. You are ALWAYS better off putting the money in a savings account - you will make more money off the interest than you will save by paying the student debt off early.

I was saving to get my eyes lasered but I got that done last week. I guess now I'm saving endlessly for a house

car, boooo!!

Currently trying to save for a road trip next year with mates (amsterdam, berlin, prague).

Also my ticket to NZ, when I emmigrate next xmas.

I'm saving early because I'm useless at saving money.

Just bought a Vostro 1700 nad paying that off, got my eye on a PC upgrade next though

Glaucus · 3 May 2008 at 20:59

Trying to pay my debts of again. After I saved up last year and paid them off :rolleyes:

Then will be saving for at least legal fees to buy a house and probably a house deposit. depending how easy mortgages are to get.

Pay off the last few bits of my credit card, then look into getting a flat

Isn't student loan like 4% interest so you would be better of filling up your isa's instead of overpaying?

I'm not sure the exact numbers are. But it's not as great as people think.

Trying to save up for a car - it just isn't working though! Crappy wages, lessons, overdraft, birthdays, food and living expenses....I thought to myself "this is the month, I'll put away a nice >£300 and do the same every month from now on".....just hasn't worked out that way. I'm skint and there's still 4 weeks left until I get paid.

Makes me feel so crap!

Sniper123 · 3 May 2008 at 21:12

Nothing

Got my 55" 1080p SXRD downstairs/Got my 40" Sammy upstairs/Got my PS3/WII/360 /Got my Dell XPS M1730 at last / Brought my Citroen Saxo a few months back and I'm still happy with it.

Guess I'll start saving for a house though I'm happy in rented accommodation for the moment.

PS

I'm not rich, I had a rather nice insurance payout a couple years back :-)

Tom0 · 3 May 2008 at 21:12

A complete new rig, so I dont have to buy/replace/upgrade anything for a good while. My current one is tiresome.

schnipps · 3 May 2008 at 21:13

Nothing, dont really save, dont need to just live and buy what i want. Probably frownded upon but who cares.
