I decided not to go to uni, as I don't think it's really for me, and through my parent I'm getting a job in an insurance company. I plan to study for insurance exams, of which there are 12, so in 3/4 years I want to be fully qualified and possibly moving up in the insurance world into London.
I have £4,700 in savings, £2,800 in stocks, and currently 0 outgoings. I don't pay rent as I still live with my parents, and even then, my dad didn't seem like he would make me pay, but obviously they're my parents and I'm happy to contribute, even though we have enough money to live comfortably.
I think starting salary will be around £15,000, but once I'm fully qualified in 3/4 years, I reckon this could atleast double, and my dad is pretty high up here, and knows a lot of people so could potentially help me get into bigger and better firms. Car wise, as my parents helped pay for my sisters uni, my mum said they'd buy me a car if I got a job and didn't go to university, so that's taken care of.
So my question is, how should I start budgeting? Do I just save as much as possible to begin with, or specifically give myself maybe 10% for recreation, 5% for rent etc. Any ideas?
