Exactly, it isn't a large sum. If i had more i would know to buy a property, and wouldn't have made a thread

.

Anyway, sorry to all, let the thread die.

How long did it take you to get that nice little sum of money together then?

I have just under 3k so that pales in comparison to yours

Around 27 months, give or take 1 either way. You will be surprised how quickly it builds up. 1k was a milestone at first, then 5k, guess 15k is next unless i put it into property.

When it comes to buying a house, it's a paltry deposit unfortunately

I don't have a lot more saved towards my deposit and I'm not exactly relishing the thought of buying in the next month or 2

Must admit I'm dithering on whether to invest money in redoing exams for IT Quals that have lapsed in order to get more leverage on a permanent trip to New Zealand

Go traveling or do up you're house

The good lady amd myself dabbled with shipping out to NZ but dropped the idea because of family issues at the time. I am seriously considering the option again.

£10k "Chump Change" - I'm pleased you think so.
I take it you don't have a mortgage or a family then?
Oh I love the way people throw around figures of even a few thousand as if it is worth nothing.

£10k? chump change? bloody hell, mind if I have look down the back of your sofa under finders keepers rules please?

I had £10k from an inheritance a little while back, blew it all on a car, didn't regret it

Can't say i know, but the older you get the more you start to realise materialistic things don't matter as much.

Amen to that. I also have a few quid in an ISA and I like having it there.

A few thousand doesn't go far these days tbh so why so surprised? Sad but true
