    You are right, most of that money should be moved. Start by reading here: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/savings/

    Can you also please provide some more information, such as
    1. what are your pension arrangements
    2. how much can you save a month
    3. what are you saving for

    I'm very surprised that your bank haven't warned you of the dangers of leaving so much cash in your current account.

    The last time I had an extremely heathly current account balance due to money left from a house sale, my bank contacted me with advice to find a better home for it if it wasn't earmarked for anything in particular.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.
