I started by putting away all my overtime each month which was usually £800 - £1,000 and then about £300 of my actual wage each month too. And I put in £3,000 bonus in last year and the year before I think I put £2,000
Umm that was a couple of years ago now I started doing that, and at my new work I don't have to work overtime Since I started my new job last summer I have been putting in what money I haven't spent at the end of the month so it might be £50 or it might be £400 it just depends, and when I move and am living by myself I will put in about £100 a month. I wouldn't have as much saved as I do if my old work hadn't of made me do so much overtime though :shock: :lol:
Thats for my cat and rats too though, and the rats have been really expensive at the vets
I just insured Buu, Trip and Scarlett a couple of weeks ago though x
:shock::shock::shock: my god you must be minted :lol::lol:
i am thinking ill start with about £750 but im scared it wont be enough...Alvins stasis cost £350 and was paid for but i still had to pay the excess hopefully my company wont fold and my new reduced salary will be over soon but im wasting £15 a month on the what if's instead of using that money for vaccinations etc
credit cards are out too.. ive had my accounts frozen because ive told them i may get into trouble in the next few months didnt even give me a chance to see if i miss payments before they started threatening me with defualts and bad credit rating :evil::evil::evil:
Wow, you guys put aside a lot of money :shock: That is a lot when insurance can only be around £90 a year :?
(My maths isn't that great, am I missing something?! :lol
ETA: Actually I forgot most of you have more than one bun
No :lol: I had no choice with the overtime and I still live with my mum so my rent is cheaper and bills are pretty much shared :lol: I just don't buy anything for myself, eat as little as possible and don't go out drinking if I get a feeling the rats are all going to be sick at the same time :lol:
That sounds like a good amount to start with Is it just Alvin that the savings will be used for? See mine is for 11 animals which is why I put away everything possible, it would be my luck that they would all become ill together!
im also *gulps* gonna attempt to stop drinking again too so thats a fortune id save for the savings
*jaw hits floor* :shock:
But who will be my drinking buddy
I just use the plastic
Yeah me too. I haven't got many savings at the mo so if I needed emergency treatment it would go on the plastic. I'm a bit of a credit card tart as I only use a credit card when it's got a 0% APR introductory offer. Once the 0% offer runs out I switch to a different card with 0% APR
