What do to with £30k savings 30 years old?

Massy · 2018-07-08 20:28:27

Evening All, Just so you have some background on me... i am 30, have my own mortgage and I am pretty awful with my money. Not in the sense that i spend is on pointless stuff, i just get paid and that's it. Whatever i don't use just stays in my current account. I hardly have time for any social activities outside work…

If you are not spending all your take-home pay then perhaps look into if you are able to put more into your pension pot from your salary, as a long term investment. You'll get the income tax relief on the contributions (although you'll pay when you draw it down), you might even get more employer's contributions (free money) if you've not maxed them out already.

(Although I could be wrong, I often am.)
