    Take it slowly. You've got time. £500 a month means that you can save or invest £6000 a year.

    This isn't enough to fill your ISA allowance, so even if ISA rates go up, you can move £9000 from your 'nest egg' in each year. You could even take advantage of the current accounts year round and move an amount in at the end to a Cash ISA to protect it for long term savings (although lump sum investments aren't likely to be a good fit for you, maybe regular smaller amounts).

    We read a lot of books about investing before starting and got the fundamentals.

    Nope! Hopefully a few others will do so too
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.
