    I agree it is doable but only if you discipline yourself like you said and from two incomes and a lot of cutting down. My experience was different I got here in my 20's so I never thought of savings then, but later in my adult life and with the grace of God I have a good job and my mechanism was to join what you call contribution/Ajo this has been going on over 5 years and no one has ever defaulted, I joned a 2nd group this year. In that way I have been able to have a lump sum which initially when I arrived in the UK thought was impossible. You did well considering the fact that you guys did it in 1 year. Kudos👏

    That Black tax situation is another thing I tell you, the 1st year i left…every Tom, dick and harry came with their request. I almost exhausted all my savings in Naira cos I was being super nice. After some time I had to wise up, I even stopped sending bulk money to my naira account, the only money I started sending home was basically only for my mum. Once anybody asks me for money, I’ll just screenshot my account balance and send to the person and they’ll be shocked, but it helped me wella😂😂😂

    Tochi, with this video the Nigerians think that's how everyone in the UK save money and they won't believe you that you don't have money when they begged. Tochi is a lawyer and nobody knows how her husband is financially buoyant... If you're building projects or giving dependants money back home, you can't save such money and still buy mortgage within 1 year and 2 years . I am not saying it's not possible but, financial obligations are different, jobs are different and profession are not same. Some are on low paid jobs... Discipline is the key but, don't over stretched yourself.

    Sister Do not mislead people because of views on KZread You said you were on a dependent visa and only work 2 days per week because of child care You said you started saving £20 per week this gives you £80 per month You then you increased it from £20, to £30, £40, to £100 per week so let’s say you save £100 per week this makes £400 per month Now tell us how much you got as salary for your 2 days per week job 😂 that after expenses you were able to save £400 per month £100 x 52 weeks = £5,200 Since you did not start with £100 just as you said some week £20, some weeks £40. You can’t have £5,200 However, let’s say you were actually saving exactly £100 that’s still just £5,200 Let’s assume your husband did the same too that is £10,400 There is no way you can have left over income of £5,200 in a year on your 2 days per week job in the UK even 5 days Stop the lie it is misleading and will only make some people do despicable things when they come to the UK

    Wow you need to be saving well over 1500 pounds a month to hit that target of 20k, iam a little sceptical about you saving all that... Personally I've managed to save almost 12k in 1 year 8 months and I've been very fungal. Sorry but I'd be very interested to see how on God's green earth you managed that, with P. A. Y. E and N.I and pension on someone's neck every month plus rent??

    What happens if one started saving on lifetime ISA from this month and wasn't able to save up to 4k by April next year? Will the money disappear? Its better having this ISA account with one's current bank or Moneybox?

    It's better to save with your bank. And to answer your second question. If you are able to save £2000, you get £500. If you save £1000, you get £250. Hope I've answered your questions
