How much do you save weekly/monthly?

another question · 2012-09-18 15:22:21

Just wondering what is the average amount that people can afford to save on a weekly or monthly basis in the current recession? With so many people on the dole especially, I'm wondering is saving still popular and where do most people save. I'm not particularly interested in interest rates etc....just basic old school type…

I'm not particularly interested in interest rates etc....just basic old school type of putting a few bob away regularly.

It depends on your salary mostly I suppose.

I'm trying to save €500 per month (after pension) at the moment, tryin to get that deposit ready when I buy a house.... Some day. It's tough going and sometimes I have to sacrifice going out for lunch or a few pints but I'm trying to see the bigger picture.

I've a figure set out in my head to reach so when I get to it, I'm buying a motorbike!
