  • If you are thinking you might buy a house at some stage then you should consider a LISA.


    Also hopefully you are in your employers pension scheme, as that is some free money.




    Thanks, will have a look at Lisa's. I'm in my employer pension scheme although I'm not exactly sure on the details of it

    As well as checking other details such as what invested in etc 
    Could be worth checking if you are able to make additional contributions to workplace pension that would also increase your employer’s contribution.
