You came on here asking for help and advice, people kindly gave their exptertise and time in typing out.

Why the sarcasm, your response was very rude and ungracious.

I was looking for answers to my questions, not criticism, so forgive me for being a little sensitive.





Anyway, thank you to those who offered positive advice and answers.

Hopefully you are not going to rely on that for your retirement. At 3% interest it's not even keeping up with inflation at the moment so it's value is eroding straight away.

I see, just reading this:

Also you are paying more interest on any debt you hold than that 150 getting 3%. I am not saying not to have a little safetynet, but [paying off your debt, and cutting dwon your spending is the way to go.

and as I said, we can help you with that here if you post a Statement of Affairs (SOA).
