What Are You Worth?

Hi All,

For those brave enough in revealing what is your financial breakdown?

Mine is as follows:

Salary - £20k

Private Pension - £4500

Mortgage - £90k

Value of property -£200k.

Savings - £17k in current account (soon to be moved).

Investments (if you call it that) - £200 (Premium Bonds).

I'm not worth much to be honest; I'm currently 30 and single with no dependants.

    It'll end in tears.
    I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

    Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.

    I am worth it. Ever since that first L'Oreal ad in 1990-something.

    how did you manage to get such a low LTV and save 17k all on a salary of £20k?
  • That's a lot to hold in a current account. What are you going to invest in?
    Some in instant access savings account, cars isa, perhaps something into a shares is a? What pension do you have? Well done on not paying rental.

    You need to get better at fixing computers. It worked for me.
