    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.

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

    2. Electronic drum kit

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

    Didn't save money. I used the 'saved' money to decorate. Made up for lost time though!

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