PERSONAL assistant Aimee Shipp always wanted to own a home – and skipped University and getting a degree so she could start saving aged 18.
At just 26, the savvy saver bought a £228,000 flat in Harlow, Essex as she worked as a personal assistant.
In her first job, aged 18, she started saving for a house deposit.
She was being paid £32,000 a year, despite having no higher education qualifications.
By 20, this had risen to £35,000 and by 22 she was earning £38,000 a year as a PA.
Aimee said: “I didn’t want to go to university and get saddled with debt, I wanted to get a job and save to buy a home of my own, so that is exactly what I did.”
