In the queue for the post office and a woman in front of me (take note we very squished up together) opened up her banking app. and my heart sank, she had 4 accounts...800ish, 2kish, 1kish and 10kish. I have one account with 178quid til pay day at the end of the month, and i need to buy food and pay a bill. I know i was unreasonable for looking, I looked away as soon as I could, but my heart died a little. I'll never have that kind of money. Such a different world we live in...

You looked away as soon as you could after checking all 4 of her bank balances?

If you get a well paid job or start a successful business you might well earn enough to save that much money

What a helpful response….

I hear you OP.

These are very achievable amounts of savings for you to have as a goal OP, even if not right now.

Why not set yourself a target, and put away a pound a week or something, whatever you can afford.
