I have about £5500 in the banks.
I often think about how much someone is 'worth', like if you had to get a large sum of money really quick how much could you make. If I sold my car for a decent price (insurance is paid for all at once) and sold some other things I could easily get £10k by the end of Feb.

TBH, if you can't save £10k I've no idea how you think you'll buy a house.
Edit - aimed at those without property

This is true, but so much easier living at home, than if you're already renting.

I agree with Paul here - If I was living with my parents, I could easily save about £800+ a month.
As it currently is with me renting a place purely on my own, I'm lucky if I can save £50 a month tbh.

Mines on just short of 1k, should be nearer 3-4k by this time next week, its an odd time for me though.
