Hi all, been wanting for some time now to start investing and itching to take the plunge now. Have been reading similar posts by people such as 'Saving for £' with great interest.

In short, I want to earn as much as I can (don't we all). I'm not averse to taking on risk, I am loosely saving for a deposit in 3 or 4 years I guess but really my primary motivator is just generating money. I have heard that renting and investing can work just as well as buying a property sooner and spare cash going into a deposit rather than investing.

    Its under the 'Edit' button, but now there's a reply (yours) that option will be disabled.

    You could report yourself and request deletion though.

    Or you could just let the thread die a natural death and dont be concerned about it.

    I am guessing that shortly after posting you realised that it wasnt investing you need (as that would be unsuitable with your objective) but savings.
