Like $1,000 I need to learn some serious financial skills.

~$50,000, spent on a one time down payment for about half the cost on the house..

EDIT: Before I get shit for this, we started the savings before my first born, was even thought of. It was to just be sure we could be financially stable, in a environment we could raise the kids in and knew we could pay off over time, but not have to worry about from the start. Everything was a tight budget for about 6 years for this.

Perks of living in a apartment for 4 years and decent paying jobs.

My main focus right now is saving up for a house while girlfriend in college and once shes done with college and opens her business then i will spend it on a down payment.

Best bet is just to keep yourself on a tight budget, and set it aside in a few ways. You want your main focus on the payment, but you can't forget you will need stuff along the way, so your general income depending on your total expenses quarterly/monthly or weekly however you are billed. Just set aside a reasonable amount that won't affect stability to much you don't want to go above (putting away to much), and not be to stable having to pull out of the savings.

About £2000

Was a big issue for us, she always liked to eat out (didn't know i could cook at the time) so you have to factor that in, sure $30-50 doesn't seem like much but with the pay i was getting at the time wasn't working and we had to keep pulling into savings. took about three months to get a stable budget, and worked out just fine.

I used to go out alot to eat and movies ect.. but slowly i am trying to find a cheaper way to do these things and it's working i spend about 20$ for gas weekly just to get to work back and girlfriends, we don't eat out as much now because she is on a very strict diet. i spend 400$ monthly for car payment and that's about it, like i said i live with my parents so i don't pay as much for foods, payments ect... but i try to help out when they ask. i save almost 850$ a week. i make around 1000$ weekly. but yah of course their will be situation where i need to spend some money like parties and ect.. i am 20 so i go out alot still on weekends and it requires to spend money.

For tax purposes I only have $3

Bit of a personal question but £1-2k

Saved around £4k since 2015 (I was very bad at saving up, always spent my money on useless shit), had to lend it to my brother at the start of 2017 as he could not afford to pay for his University fees.

So the grind to save up begins again!

A little over 1k, from doing this little side job I had.

Edit: I was thinking just cash saved up.
But I recently saved about 2k from my paychecks and tips to cash out on new pc parts and monitors.
