hey,

believe me im not rich nor intending to be lol, just wondering though - i have opened a basic account to save for my baby and things we will need to buy - is there a limit to how much you are allowed to save whilst in an IVA - not that it will be thousands lol!

I don't think there is a limit. None of us would be able to save thousands. It's not something that is asked on review as far as I am aware. Save away from your allowances and get ready for baby!

We should all be saving our contingencies anyway (had to use mine last month but back on it this month).

It shows we are being canny and learning the lesson of budgeting if we can save.

Do you do on-line surveys? You can get Tesco, Boots vouchers etc so may come in handy for baby things?

As long as it comes from what you can save from your allowances, or your shares of overtine etc, you can save as much as you are able to.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.

So long as what you save is from your own allowances set by your IP then you are free to save as much as you can.

Sorry,

Just caught up with this. I'll email them to both of you this morning - off out with the dogs in a few minutes so sort it when I get back.
