I am already saving up but even with being in a reasonably well paid job its a tad hard to save up £50k +. Maybe a few thousand but by the time I had enough I would have a mortgage around my neck and probably kids too. Don't take that as meaning that I'm not willing to go down that road as I may have to if all else fails but I figure the younger I am the more chance I have, and also, trying to save that sort of money when I have a mortgage will be near impossible. I know that sounds very defeatist but this industry requires me to be realistic.
Cheers anyway though.
