What are you saving for

vikings2012

Hi all,

With Covid 19 a lot of us are saving more than usual. We do not have the weekly luxuries of nights out or meals out.

Do any of ye have plans for what you will do with the extra savings or are you saving for something in particular?

For me, I am trying to save €2000 for my GF and I to go on a skiing holiday early next year.

What are your plans?

Am I the only that haven't saved a whole pile of extra cash? Granted I'm not earning big bucks but I've been spending more online for sure in comparison to before the lockdown.

The arrival of another baby. And then a vasectomy.

1. A new(er) car. Newer in this case = more recent than 2004

2. Electronic drum kit

I need to buy the largest screen phablet I can find so I can replace my phone and my laptop with one device. Any suggestions are welcome, screen size is everything.

If you save twice as much you could get the two done in the same procedure. Just saying like.

I got one of those before. It didn't work properly, and the returns policy was useless.

A mortgage. If I have to hear my housemate's obnoxiously loud fake laugh for another year I'll end up in a loony bin or prison.

Tomato and cheese toasted sandwich?

I haven't saved much on everyday spending. If the internet didn't exist and online shopping wasn't a thing, I'd be very impressed with myself.

A Switch. I've already bought a game for it (Dragon Quest XI S).

I have a fair chunk in savings at this stage which continues to grow. Honestly it stems from not having anything to spend it on. I live like I'm broke and incredibly frugal by nature and don't think I'll ever not have that mindset, don't see the need to spend money on anything above the bare minimum. I'd love to invest in some kind of income producing asset but outside of property I don't think Ireland has the best set up like in America for instance with those index funds and the like. There is always the option to buy a house and rent out rooms but I don't like the sound of being a landlord. In saying all this I realize how fortunate I am and not many people are in the same boat as myself so I don't want to come across like life is hard when it's not

Hairy Japanese BASTARDS!

I'm just hoarding my money.
I'm saving as much as I can when I can.

If you don’t get both done you might end up making a right tit of yourself. :eek:
