Genuinely is insane how the government can threaten something, scare people, then pull the plug last minute. Will see what they announce officially later today.
UNCONFIRMED: Reports in FT 2027 cash isa reduction for under 65s to £12,000 to be scrapped so it will stay at £20,000.

UK new minimum wage: £27,456 per year. Higher-rate tax bracket: £50,270. 1.8x difference. In 1997 there was a 5x difference. Mind boggling.

Bonds. Arguably the most important asset. But, what are they? And should you invest in them? If so, how? (There are 4 ways as a UK investor) All covered in my latest video 👇 Bonds - Should You Invest? (And Exactly How UK Investors Can) youtu.be/O29qr41gZro

Watching the eclipse with a pint of Guinness and decide to open Twitter. Saw this had 1 million impressions! Nice 🍺
£277m is an insane amount of money, But - and I’m not defending her here/don’t want to be that guy - I assume she would’ve paid 39.35% dividend tax on pretty much all of this? That’s ~£110m of tax for the UK government.

Bet365 CEO Denise Coates paid herself £277,000,000 this year, and £410,000,000 in 2020. This was more than 20,000x the Minimum Wage that she paid most of her workers. The betting industry needs to be taxed, heavily.

You literally just need to invest monthly - whatever you can afford to - in a global market cap weighted index fund. Not financial advice, but got me to £200k+ invested in 9 years. ~£70k of that was market gains.
You don’t need a perfect entry point. You need a longer holding period.

New from me: Young people in Britain are some of the most well-educated in the rich world, but economic stagnation means that breeds not growth but frustration. In fact, US workers who are functionally illiterate now earn roughly the same per hour as the average British worker.

Not every video is going to be a banger! And funnily enough, it seems that the ones you spend more time on - researching and scripting - end up getting less views 🤣 But if you’re on 6-figures this is a very important one! I’ll link it below 👇
