I've got some spare cash
Emily has just started working for DMGT. She has paid off her student loan and has a little bit left over each month from her salary. She's already paying into a cash ISA.
Emily is thinking about the future and her main priority is to own her own home, but she feels she can't quite afford it at the moment.
