Where are your savings kept?

[Super Steve Earle]

Ok Cheers, sorry i could not help you i am still looking for the best place myself.

Property in Rotherham is something i was going to look at as supposedly there is a big regeneration going on. (according to someone i spoke to yesterday)

Have you looked at that sort of thing?

I hear there is a strong market in Albion shirts for 7 year olds at the moment although due to their quality, returns are quite low

surprised at FTSE being so low....6% growth over 10 years?

Interested in the wider topic of making my savings do more so this idea of a savers group seems quite good.

As usual entirely dependent on the date range selected. Up 50% since 2009 for example........

Brexit factor? My ISA's, Bond and SIPP went up £20k in September. Probably be reversed on the next roller coaster financial event. Long term is the only way to look at things.

Savings
That's old school....just spend and have fun even though most have very little or if not no savings sadly

So are you saying Media Studies is a waste of time? [emoji38]

Of course not, it could lead to many things such as... err, tv critic in the daily express?

I have a couple of 1-2-3 accounts which they are 1/2 -ing the interest form November so looking at alternatives to get a better return.

Have you tried 3-2-1 accounts

Savings?! I take it you're in the 40+ golden generation.

You have not allowed for dividends. More like 40% with them

When I was earning, I overpaid on my mortgage every month until it was paid off - yes, it took a few years, but I consider it the best thing to have done, so I own my house. Once it was paid off, I became a social pariah and bought another property to let, though I did try to keep the rent down to a reasonable level for my tenants. Thinking of selling that now, though.

I do have a few k in Premium Bonds, so get a few wins - but not the big one, but I feel that might happen next month !

Not earning any money at the mo, due to health issues.

Sorry to hear about your health issues, I think overpaying on the the mortgage is a wise option. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks. Yes, you see very little difference at first, but you do eventually, then the balance start to go down faster and faster. I appreciate not everyone is in a position to do it though.

I always make a point of over-paying my income tax. This helps the government out.

Every year, I get a nice refund of overpaid tax - which feels like a big windfall, because it's money that I might otherwise have spent on pies at the Amex or other luxuries.
