Im on a mad saving session at the mo, want to go away with the missus in july
I earn around £1200 a month after tax, when my Bills/Food and Rent are paid im left with around £500 for myself, trying to put 300 away a month, to live off £50 a week just spare cash!
2k a month to play with- all of which i save, im only interested in cars and bodybuilding, dont go out, dont buy clothes etc etc so im good with money and im a tight cnut

Yeah, Laurie has the right idea. Smart thing to do. Even if you're only putting 50 quid away a month throughout your younger years, you will thank yourself later down the line rather than wasting it on crap. Open up a high interest savings account (is there such a thing at the moment? My I.S.A account has been sh1t interest for 2 or 3 years since the global economic crisis) and don't touch it.
Only working part time, not entitles to benefits and trying to keep my own place has proved impossible. Mate is letting me move in with her rent free for a while so thats £100 a week better off straight away.
Really back into the bodybuilding now so will be great to be able to buy the food I want instead of whats cheap
im left without about 3k after tax, live in a council house which is cheap as ****, dont have kids, dont drink, smoke about 10 cigs a day only interest really is bodybuilding and Tech but i still manage to spend all my money (mostly on others) and save **** all.....
To anyone wasting huge amounts of money on rent... for gods sake invest in bricks and mortar. There has always been a shortage of housing in this country and always will be, therefore property prices (and rent) are always going to rise long term.
For the same reason its wise to invest that money in property because it will always give a good return long term. Rent = dead money.

I have about 1400 left and like Laurie - I like cars so I pay out for the house and car thats it. I dont go out drinking, I dont smoke so thats my fun time. Other thant that I put some away.

Its not that easy I already own a property else where, try to sell it and no one will buy it.. Also bank makes getting a second mortgage a pain in the backside, need at least £60k deposit to buy Something like where I live.. I wish I had that sort of money sitting about..
Sorry correction since buying the Focus RS its cost me a fortune filling it up because I am the nugget that buys a 2.5 litre rocket when the fuel prices are at there worst. Everybody point at the special kid. So knock off about £250 a month for fuel.... (thats how much I put in it last month).
Yep same as Laurie. Bodybuilding and cars are the only thing i really spend money on. But still sensibly. For instance i dont go out buying GASP clothing coz i wanna have that badass bodybuilder image, and I wont buy a car that I cannot afford yet e.g a Ferrari lol.
It all boils down to how disciplined you can be.
Yes its fun to go out on the lash and pull birds. But if you want to save money and haev some luxuries you have to prioritise and work around it
