How much do you have in your savings account?

[Eurydice84]

Just that, really. I am trying to save up for some big expenses (house renovations) but I am worried about blowing up the majority of my savings and starting from scratch again.

Also £50 😂 but I'm debt free finally for the first time in 10 years after an abusive marriage and that will going towards spends for my first
Ever holiday !

About £24k, from squirrelling away bits every month for years and years. But I was lucky enough to get a 6k share payout from a previous job about 15 years ago, which helped get me started. I spent half of that and then put the other half in savings to build on.

I don’t have a savings account.

I have £200 hidden away amongst my hobby stuff. I got up to £500 at one point and felt loaded!

Just over 10k

33p.

I really love these threads. No one talks about money in real life!

I've got exactly £1000, which is just enough to get me through a month, should I lose my job suddenly. Otherwise every spare penny is going towards the mortgage.

You mean cash? Is there a particular reason you don't want to use a bank? I'm just curious!

Same here it's so comforting to know you don't have to worry

Nice! Well done you!

@Usernamesarenoteasy snap! I also have a very poor 11p! If we combine it, we probably can't even buy a freddo!

91p in my ISA.
We did open a help to save account on the gov website when hubby lost his job in late 2019 (only applicable to those receiving UC or other benefits) and have been saving £50 each into an account since then so we have just under £2k in each but those cant be touched until next Jan.
We also have a LISA each but I don't know how much we each have in ours as I've locked myself out of the account 😅It won't be any more than £500 though I don't think.

We have £6k on our credit card and no other debt so any money that came in would go towards clearing that rather than saving but I'd like to think this year or next we can start saving seriously. Preferably in an account we can't touch!

About £30k

To summarise the replies - imagine a range of numbers between 0 and millions. Some true, some fake.

That makes no sense at all, how could knowing possibly true possibly false numbers from literal randoms help in any way?

Why not just make a list of numbers you can think?

I don’t have a savings account .

Ive got £1k scattered about different accounts.
I am also £23k in debt through just utter bad money management and thoughtless spending.
Im trying to build our savings to £5k by July and pay £6k off the debt by July.

About 75% of my annual salary. I was fortunate enough to help out a family member who hit some hard times during lockdown. Won’t see it back but I knew that when I offered

I didn’t manage to save that much myself last year due to a house move but hope to increase my savings this year

I “pay myself” on payday (ie move money to savings) and then have a reminder for the night before payday to move anything that’s left even if it’s just pennies

I know I am extremely fortunate to be in this position and it has not always been like this

3 k I think , but normally used for holidays so will be gone in a few months and will restart again

About £3700. Very proud because it’s the first time I’ve had savings.

£2,500. We recently moved house and had work done. We're going to save so we've got a £20k 'float' in savings which makes us feel a bit more comfortable. Anything extra we put in our mortgage, pension or invest.

I just saw you said savings account. Mines all in current accounts.

How much do you have in savings? Are the house renovations essential repairs or more cosmetic? How did you manage to save what you currently have? Do you currently make regular deposits into a savings account so you can calculate how quickly you can get back on track?

Joint account: £17k that we didn't earn - left over from a 56k inheritance. The rest went in an extension and a car

Holiday savings: 4k. We put £150 each a month in on pay day

My savings: 2k. I've been moving the same £200 back and forth between my current account and savings account for about 6 months

We're spending every penny of our wages now because everything costs so much more so can't see us adding to savings for the foreseeable

30k but I own no assets.

£25 million. I bid to supply PPE and sent them a few pairs of gloves in the post.
