I have 150k savings.
My friend gets 5k annual return on his savings of similar amount.
He said he invests but I don’t know how or where to start.

That's over 3.5%. Perhaps your friend takes risks.
What is your attitude to risk ?Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill0 -

Just under the dividend yield of the FTSE. Wouldn't be good investing to just have that as a fund but it would give the level of incomeRemember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.0 -

With a US and international equity and bond tracker funds I had 24% return last year, but I could lose money this year as I am taking risk.“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”0 -
