It's only 3%. Pensions have yearly percentage fees, they even charge you when they've lost you money.0 -

I think I have to not put all my eggs in one basket. So some funds to pension and some towards a buy to let property is the long term goal. I can see that while I'm contracting that the motivation to look for a property is completely gone! So well just go with the flow and see how we get on! I will put funds to a pension to make the most of the tax savings from investing it before the limited company tax is calculated.
PJs not bought and as a non essential item I'll try and resist. Spent a lot, £80, on work essentials so that'll keep me going for a while!Mortgage balance Feb 2015 start of MFW Journey-£245316.06/Aim to be mortgage neutral 2022 — Target for May 2024 14 Year Target Balance MF50 = £89,535 — Mortgage Balance £106, 000—Target for May 2024! £89,535
