Savings

[Rachel_C]

Nothing, we overpay the mortgage instead (no penalty for it on ours). No point saving money when you owe money! We do have easy access to emergency money though. If that wasn't the case, I would want three months' wages in a savings account for emergencies, maybe longer if OH's job was insecure.

We've just bought our first house so not a lot. Want to save for a holiday but as soon as I get back working, we will open another saving account to have savings we won't touch x

Nothing, but if things get dire I can always sell my husband.
