Most of us have things we want but unfortunately most of us can’t simply go out and buy them. We have to save for them as putting them on a credit card can be very expensive. Whether it’s a new car, an overseas trip or a deposit for your first home, that something special is achievable if you are realistic and put in place a disciplined savings program.

Common questions to consider

Some questions you may wish to consider include:

• Where does all my money go?
• How much should I be saving each week?
• How do I make the most of my savings?
• Where should I put my money while I’m saving?
• What is the benefit of starting early?
