Saving money

I paid £4,000 for my new car today after saving and going without, very proud of myself. Go team me.

When/if you're with the right partner I think it's better.

how much is your insurance?

[charliechalk]

£1,300 ridiculous like

[Necksta]

cheap seeing as its a relatively new car and you only just got your license.

just bought a car and 3 days later the starting motor dies out and i get quoted £750 from the dealership for a brand new motor. i already paid over my budget on the whip.

pissed tbh.

Not read the while thread, but does anyone else save all £2 coins they get? You'll be surprised by how quickly you can stack them.

[Jodie]

My dad does that.

We still dip into it tho so its a bit pointless in my household.

[Sinister]

My advice would be to anyone:

1) Clear your debt before saving, the amount you pay on interest on debt will be WAY more than the interest you gain on saving.

2) If you do have an excessive overdraft or credit card debt, transfer it on a free balance transfer to a card with a long term interest free period and pay it off every month, like £100 to £200.

That way its at least manageable and you're not paying for excessive interest fees.
