a good amount of savings for a student?

buckelyjohn123

I'm just after finishing 5th year.. been working all summer.. I currently have 6700 euro in my credit union.. saved 1200 euro in the past 6 weeks.. hope to save another 800 before the summer is out.. is this a good amount of savings to have for someone my age I would like to know? Having 7k at 17 years of age in my credit union is that good? By the way I've worked hard during Christmas and last year to save it..

That is seriously a very impressive amount of money for a 17 year old, well done.

Stands you in good stead for the future.

I only had about 500 euro when I was 17 so you're doing very well. Keep it up, be sensible with your money but also learn to enjoy it and you'll be doing great.

Good lad. Seriously good money to have.

I think this is a great amount for someone of any age, but 17 is impressive.

well done to you
