Re: Why are you trying to save so much money?
My father isn't well off-state pension,living on his own now,but I know the sacrifices he made bringing up family,I pay for his heating,making sure he's never cold,once a month I take him out to a nice restaurant,and a week in winter we go on holiday in warmer climate,Spain or Portugal.(he doesn't know I pay heating,i add to rent --to proud)
I'm single an when I'm old,I know there will be no one there for me,so saving,investing will be my insurance
also enjoy the simple things more,cafes,restaurants,cinema

got burned penny share
Lost 80%
7k to 1.4k
I've held this 5 years,bought before I knew about passive indexing.
The real hurt is I sold two bank shares to buy this which have trebled,and in future been a nice sum
how do you get a massive mistake out of mind,thoughts
thx

When most uninformed think of stock market---it's taking extra risk for the road to riches

Re: The Three Fund Portfolio
vanguard lifestyle 60% equity looks the one for me
with low fees an diversification
don't have lump sum/will be pound/costing monthly into it
I'm more concerned with slowing building up capital than an outright risk
