Start saving for mortgage

I'd like to start saving for mortgage, as well as having insurance and some investments, but I'm not sure where to start.

    If you are under 40 look into the Lifetime ISA to get you started.

    How old are you and what disposable income do you have? If you are under 40 then a LISA is an option.
