I started saving for my house when i was 20, just after i bought my ninja so my savings at the time were zero lol. I did all the over time i could, didn't go out every weekend after football like i had been. after 2 years i had managed to save 14k and 2 years ago yesterday i moved into my house, but as i wanted a largeish back garden and a garage i had to compromise and ended up moving further away then i wanted to, but as i wanted to buy a house and get on that first step of the property ladder so badly it had to be done. If you really want to buy your own place, no matter how hard it is, or how long it takes to save up then you have to do it, no if's or but's cus you will never get there. I'm 24 now and some of my mates havn't got any motivation to move out of there parents yet cus it's to hard to save according to them, but as people on here have proved it's not something new.
