Haven't a clue what I've saved up. Well over €150k anyway.

Less than 20% of my net income, just 450 pm.

Not great, hoping to increase it in Jan 2018.

Of course, repaying loans is also saving, and that figure is 650 pm for me.

So really I'm saving 1,100 pm.

True, but you're saving into a savings account with a negative interest rate!
Which unless you're a billionaire, is never a good thing

I have no idea how people can save that much.

I have 7 kids. The idea of savings is an alien concept to us. I do earn a decent enough wage and we could definitely do with trimming some of the needless expenses (take aways and other silly wastes of money that help the week go by)... Savings though? No hope.

This post would have been golden if u were on the welfare and were able to save a few quid each month - opportunity squandered

If you are clearing 1100 a week means your earning like 2k a week. On less extract highly skilled not a hope

I'm saving approximately 33% of my net pay each month at the moment towards a house deposit

I save approx 20% at the minute. But I don't understand how many many people say they can't save but drive new cars.Maybe that's why they cn't save, all their money goes on the car.

Me about €1,100 on averge. Just wondering how this compares to everyone else and people who are saving for mortgages either on their own or with a partner.

Well done. Anything above €1000 in my opinion is very good!

Personally I save about a grand aswell per month on my own.

Is the assumption that anyone who saves 1k a month is loving at home?

That or renting a cheap shared house.

I did before but I've a mortgage to pay now, bills and I'm lucky to save much nowadays. Definitely should be keeping a better eye on my outgoings.

And the cheap shared house isn't in a major urban area.

If I work full-time, anything between $1000 and $4000 depending on how many extra hours I do. I hit that 4k mark a few years ago and my life was so unbelievably bad, I'll never work like that again. 40 hours in front of a class feels like 200 in front of a computer.

That's teaching English in Asia. Anyone can do it if they're willing to work hard and have a knack for it.

About 3-3.5k

I have a direct debit set up through work to put €200 from my wages into the credit union every month, have done so for years. I've cleared it out on occasion over the years and then started from scratch again. Come to think of it, I could probably afford to save more than that as I don't have an extravagant lifestyle and my mortgage and expenses are manageable right now. I might look into that.

Anywhere from €1,000 to 2,000 per month. This month was a bit flush with a pay rise and bonus payout so I’ve saved €3000. About €70k in savings so far.

Used to be a lot more mathematical about it but these days I just save X amount and the rest I can blow in whatever way I want. Usually after rent and bills that ends up being mostly far too much on food and clothes

Saving is for losers

Just get yourself up the pole 7 times. 50k cash into your hand from the SW. Then go down the country and rob a load of old people.

Spend it all as quick as you get it. Don't be at that saving shite. That's only for eejits

Then get a free mansion in whatever location takes your fancy

Happy days

Savings rate is currently 60%.
Rent is 25%.
