“I have been saving in SAYE from the day I was eligible to join. It allows me to go on a holiday that will supply amazing memories and life experiences that I may not if I did not save.”

“I was a single mum when I joined SAYE and this scheme was ideal for me to save and give my children things they wanted, school trips etc. To have it taken from my wages before I received them was perfect for me to save as if I saved at home then something may have come up and I would have borrowed from the savings and not put it back. Having a lump sum at the end of the 3 years was ideal for me. I still use the scheme now even though my children have left home.”

“I have used SAYE towards a deposit on my first home - this was perfectly timed for me and I also made a profit! Would recommend to anyone as it is always great idea to have the backup as you never know what you might need!”

“Every year we use the money to go on once in a life time trips. Hawaii has been the best so far. We couldn’t have saved the money otherwise and made a fantastic profit”

“The savings I’ve made over the last few years have paid for my wedding out right and also put a deposit on my first house”

“SAYE has always allowed me to have a holiday every year with my family. I am now saving for my daughter first car and I have managed to also put money toward house renovations.”

“I always try to have something saved in each scheme so I get a payout every year. My first SAYE savings paid for around 50% of my wedding and then the next year I could contribute a big chunk towards our first house deposit. I definitely wouldn’t have been able to save for these two big events without SAYE.”

“First did it just to save a bit of money where it was out of sight, out of mind and I knew I wouldn’t touch it. Then realised a couple years ago you could actually make money off it by changing to shares and selling them! That has massively influenced me to continue doing it year on year! Just wish I’d understood it sooner!”
