@Suffolk_lass - lunch for 20?! Je suis impressed!
@Watty1 - I could just about envisage making some beer money as a side hustle if I had any particular wisdom to impart but there's not a whole lot to my plootering:1. Diversified portfolio of income generating shares2. Try and beat best cash return on an ISA by 50%3. Don't lose money over the medium term
My activity is largely limited to nicking John Kingham's best ideas, replicating bits of UK "dividend aristocrats" ETFs that were a bit too spicy for Mr Kingham but warrant consideration, and responding to my T212 notifications when something dips. It's working fairly well so far, am going to revisit the approach at the end of the financial year.
Anyway, it's now worth c. 4-5 months of work overtime, which is a nice short term way to think about it.
