Have £5000 in my bank account by the time I leave school

I have about £1200. So That gives me three years (ish) to save £1800, working out to about £600 per year. That’s going to be very hard but I can try, I guess.

I read on the internet that it takes about $5000 dollars to start up when you leave home (without any financial assistance). I figured that if I have £5000 that will allow for inflation and give me some left over. I guess I’ll start saving some money then – £1 a week plus my birthday and Christmas money is all I can manage on my pocket money. I am hoping to get a job in my local library though, so I’ll definitely put my pay from that in my savings account.
