HSPM_APRIL_2006_APPLICATIon,
I've not yet submitted my EC, but what i've put together are my financial records (bank statements, investments, etc) along with a proposed budget detailing my proposed expenses in the UK (rent, food, other financial responsibilities like my student loan payment). From what i've read on this and other immigration boards they mainly want to see that you will be able to support yourself for a couple months should you not have a job before you arrive in the UK. I've had people tell me a wide variety of savings amounts from 2k-30k GBP.
I've been told that as long as you can show that you can support yourself and any dependents until you have a job that you shouldn't have any problems.
Best wishes.
