Before you start to plan your saving, it's usually a good idea to review any existing debts first. Paying them off may help you save more in the long run, depending on any interest you pay on them

The best way to work out your budget is to look at your outgoings vs your incoming payments and work out how much you could realistically save each month. 

Setting realistic savings goals will help you get in to the habit of saving. On average, customers save twice as much when they save towards a goal. 

Whether you're saving towards a new home, maybe a wedding, or just a buffer for unexpected costs, it's great to set yourself a goal and date you'd like to hit it by.

Get ahead of the game by setting up a standing order, allowing you to automatically move cash to your savings each month without having to remember to do it.

Lots of people find that setting up a standing order to move money into their savings, just after they receive their wage, a great strategy.
