How much have you saved?

A question about : So it would appear I need to raise Ј90,000...

Hi All,

Long term lurker (years) but first time of posting...

I have decided that due to having recently had a pay rise of around Ј5000pa gross, the time has come to start thinking seriously about buying a house

I am currently renting near work at a total cost of just under Ј900 per month including all house related bills but have given in to my mothers constant nagging to come home and save up when my lease ends in December.

The Great 'joining clubs for discounts' Hunt Revisited

A question about : AA renewal rip off

I recently got an AA breakdown insurance quote of Ј113.50.
This covers roadside and relay with a complementary home start.
I went onto the AA web site and found I could get the same cover for Ј105 and if I take off the complementary home start It would go down to Ј69.
I rang them and the best renewal they could offer was Ј90.

So if I cancel my cover and take it out at their best quote I will save Ј21.

Is this daft and has anyone else found things like this?
