Hi,
Im mid 20’s and at a stage in my life/career where disposable income is more available and a more frequent possibility and want to look at starting to invest this money into short or long term possibilities.

If people could have there time again, or offer any advice, what option/options would you recommend a younger person at this age take, I know property was previously very lucrative in term’s of the rental route for an example, being an tradesman myself this would have been ideal, but believe thing’s have and are being put in place to make this less appealing now.
Thanks in advance.

When you repost add a bit more detail.
For example are you renting yourself, or do you have your own home with a mortgage?
Do you have any current savings/investment/pension provision?
What level of disposable income are you thinking of . £100 per month? £500 per month ?
Are you self employed ?0 -
