Did you save up for Homestead?

Homestead is anticipated to cost players a lot of time, resources and gold so, I was curious how much people really invested. There's already a thread with comments but I found it hard to get an idea for how much people really saved, so I made a poll. Sorry about missing the 1m-2m option. :/ Personally I made 'gold goals' over the weeks leading up to the update and saved a little over 2m gold, and a TON of crowns saved, though I'm hoping not to have to use them. Also saved a lot of unrefined stacks, treasure maps and surveys, though it is debated if this will make any difference or provide any new gains after the update. So, tell us how you've planned for Homestead, and what you'll be after first.

    My level 20 character managed to save 100K for a small home for herself. That's all she really needs.

    She's not the heroic sort. In fact, it bothers her quite a bit that the citizens of Nirn keep pestering her to help them out when all she wants to do is gather crafting materials.

    You can't edit them sadly, I will just vote less than 1mil and hide the rest from the tax man.

    With no additional storage options and broken lighting, there's not even really any point for me to buy a house, unless/until I can get some attuneable crafting stations. Even once I do, I'll probably just get a smallish inexpensive house.

    I've got 100+ surveys stored up too, but it seems from the latest PTS patch notes that they aren't going to drop the new housing mats. I'll probably just hold on to the surveys for a bit, in case a future patch changes this behavior.

    I didn't raise as much as I expected. The game economy has been really weird the last couple of months, so I downsized the range of stuff I was selling dramatically, and have just saved stuff instead. However if I'm honest, my interest in owning a house has waned anyway, so I won't be buying anything on launch or for the foreseeable future.

    My main is a Nord so I wanted a Nord style house.

    I can afford Grymharth's Woe (Med House) bit I definitely do not want a Town House, so I may have to go for Autumn's Gate (Small House) if I want to stick with Nord style, as I don't have enough for Old Mistveil Manor.

    But Mournoth Keep (Orc Medium House) could also be a contender - has the ruggedness you'd expect of a Nord dwelling, and has some outside space too.

    So, still have to make up my mind about which house to gave, but I will definitely be having a house.

    To corner the market and make money of course.
