£2761.92 has hit my account today, which had the staggering sum of £30 odd quid in it. After I take out £300 from my current account to put into my isa, I’ll have nothing left in a month’s time.

Yeah!!!!! What a nice feeling, working 40 hours a week, dealing with office politics, so you can put away £300 a month for a rainy day.

I honestly expected more from life…. I know there are people in worse situations but it’s depressing just having to get by on what is a decent salary.

It's your choice to put that £300 into an isa though when you could spend it on nice stuff throughout the month.

It’s the best part of £4k a year. It’s better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick…

Only because you’re spending the rest.

Yeah but if you had more than £300 left you'd be putting more into your ISA.

If you can't afford to save £300 then reduce what you're saving.

If you can afford that then think yourself very lucky.

That is really demoralising. What are your outgoings? High mortgage/rent?
