Finding it hard to save, whats the best way?

BrookesAndrew

Thank you all very much for the posts. I get paid next Friday so I am going to start my diary then. I will do a couple for a few months and then post it back here so you can tell me what I should work on. With the diary I think it will be pretty obvious what I need to work on though. I am trying to cut out the lunches!

Like I said thank you all, it helps me a lot!

Speak for yourself

Lately I invested in a company USGT, I got 200% profit out of that

Hmm, this one?

You gotta give jason credit for perserverance.

He keeps spamming, we keep clicking spam remove but here he is not only back, but with a little story lol.

Anyway, investing monthly is a good idea, although not into penny stocks. Into a S&S isa or an investment trust- Yes.

But not until the OP has an emergency cash pot.

Jasons post are just making me laugh. Fair play to him. I really don't see what these people get out of trying to make us invest in penny stocks!

they get your money, of course. What else would they be after?

Even at my age (not too old, still young).... My wife takes a pound a day out of the tray by my bedside where I chuck all my spare change.

Then on my birthday she gives me it back and tells me to go buy myself something nice. Its very nice not to feel beholden or guilty when indulging yourself in something you would like!

My ex gf did this, although it was more than £1 and I never saw any of it!!

unit trust 50 a month. It'll pay 'interest' and also capital growth which is usually tax free. Far better then most savings though you not guaranteed to profit
