Thank you for all your guidance. I love you for your down to earth and honest advice. I can totally relate to everything you have said. Especially about spoiling children as this is what got me into debt. I’ve cleared all my debt now but it took me 10 years. 😊
Love your videos guys! I recently made a move by downgrading my car and purchasing an older one at a much affordable price. The expenses associated with owning a Mercedes whenever something went wrong is silly, the repair costs were far from ideal.
You both are blessed to have for each other, very respectful to one another it shows in the video. In relation to moving on in a job, its important as stagnation doesnt help you to move forward ❤
Absolutely cracking video. Really makes you look at your decisions both good and bad. I brought my house in Wales before the Severn Bridge stopped charging, it was far less appealing then, this decision has now massively benefitted me after it became free. Though I don't like where I live. Financially it was a really good move. Compare that to buying in Bristol and it would have been far more of a struggle. Buying smart.
Any chance of an episode of purchasing 'off-plan' in up-and-coming areas outside of London. I remeber when my Uncle sold his property in West Ealing approximately 15 years ago, 3B 1B, and moved to Hayes and purchased a semi-detached with 3B 2B for less than 150,000 sterling and now that has tripled in price. His Adult Chlldren and now living in areas past Hayes and need more money to get on the property ladder...
Great video. Thank you Mary and Ken. Regarding University I was working full time and I was studying part time in the evening with Birkbeck University. They even split my payment for 11 instalments per year with no intrest. It was worth it. Thank you for a great work you are doing for us.
Number 3 is my favourite one. As Ken and Mary said, don't delay investing, get into it ASAP. I also like number 7, I took out a children's S&S ISA for my nieces, their portfolio is doing really well.
@@anthonychevonne There's two types, Junior cash ISA and the Junior Stocks And Shares ISA. I set up my nieces ISA with Hargreaves Landown. They've got three investments in their portfolio, one company, one ETF and one mutual fund.
It is interesting how counter cultural this is. Especially moving jobs. My husband has moved jobs a lot and retrained into coding when his job was going during covid. I am so grateful that he hasnt done the norm. I struggle with this I actually want a permanent job as I love teaching!! But maybe I need to think more flexible about my skills...
The job advice works, but not in every scenario. I have a public sector job, which pays towards a good pension, and there is little reason to leave this job / this area of work.
No way! You could live another 40-50 years! Investing into a pension (workplace/SIPP) may be a good move as you will be able to access it relatively soon.
Great info, as usual. Thanks. I totally agree about layoff. It can be away of getting a nice lump sum. In my last role, I asked for redundancy and invested that fat check. I walked into another job easily.
My kids were becoming entitled. I'm pedalling back on that. On the job front, often new starts are paid more than existing employees so to get your salary increases it pays to change jobs.
Chasing money at the expense of relationships...this one is hard because a lot of relationships suffer from differences in how couples approach money. I know its not same as chasing money, but sometimes one person wants to splurge on experiences, travel abroad, take a a mortgage on a much bigger house and live their best life...while the other wants to save or invest more and hence there a tendency to work harder and longer to get more money because they dont want to say no to everything their spouse wants. Obviously this is where setting goals and making a budget as a couple helps...as it can show both parties where their money is going and help to make better financial decisions. Great content as usual guys.
Why having more money doesn't always make you happy 😁... like you literally wake up 10 years later with three or ten times your take home pay but not recognizing your spouse anymore, if you still have one...cos you put chasing the bag to afford bigger shinier things over aligning your goals and money to build the life you want.

Great video, Ken and Mary. I love your videos, so helpful. I really want to invest my child's money for him that's currently sat in a low interest savings account. I'm just very nervous as done want to lose it. A video on savings/investing for children would be amazing x
10k for a flashy car? Can’t be flashy you will need to x that by 4 at least I pile advise to now hold on to car until end of Nov then trade in for same value with newer plate less mileage and in mean time up your bargaining skills ! Car sales are more desperate to accept in June and dec so research now for what you want , fire in Nov Spoiling kids is just bad lazy parenting , anything for an easy life
*10 Financial Decisions You’ll Regret 10 Years from Now* 1. Over borrowing to buy a house 2. Ignoring student loan debts 3. Delaying investing in stock market 4. Overspending on experiences 5. Maintaining the expensive car 6. Spoiling your children 7. Not investing for your children 8. Staying in a job for too long 9. Chasing money at the expense of relationship and family 10. Not having life and health insurance
I am guilty only if no. 10. Probably 8 and 9 would be a problem at some point, but until now, I don't think it has been. I have a new job and I already now that I will get something better the moment the opportunity appears. And I come from a background where people don't get offended if you focus on your career, because that means that you will be able to help your family, fix your home and in the end, help everybody one way or the other.
Which of those 10 financial decisions most resonated with you? Comment below :)
Loyalty is not "staying at a company for ever" but giving your 100% when at a company.

Great content❤ thanks for sharing this
Thanks!
Great video guys
The child investment one and the insurance section were my favourite
Keep up the good work 👍🏾👍🏾
Love your videos guys! I recently made a move by downgrading my car and purchasing an older one at a much affordable price. The expenses associated with owning a Mercedes whenever something went wrong is silly, the repair costs were far from ideal.
Totally silly costs! Congrats on the downgrade 😆
You both are blessed to have for each other, very respectful to one another it shows in the video. In relation to moving on in a job, its important as stagnation doesnt help you to move forward ❤

Great sensible advice as normal

I love your channel you are both lovely. I think you should talk more about buy to lets, not everyone is just a homeowner struggling.
Thank you! Will do!

Investing in shares and the concept of compounding is very interesting.
Compounding as a principle operates across so many areas of our lives.
@@TheHumblePennyI believe that the key to life is compounding!
Number 3 is my favourite one. As Ken and Mary said, don't delay investing, get into it ASAP. I also like number 7, I took out a children's S&S ISA for my nieces, their portfolio is doing really well.
Is this the junior ISA?

Another brilliant video. Thank you Ken and Mary. Loved the point about investing for your children. :-)
Thanks so much 😊

Thinking the norm holds people back in my experience. Doing counter cultural things require some bravery but it usually pays off.
The job advice works, but not in every scenario. I have a public sector job, which pays towards a good pension, and there is little reason to leave this job / this area of work.
Superb video Ken & Mary. 🙏 Key takeaways for me (1) Stock investment (2) Commence investment for children. 🤘
👍🏾👍🏾
Great content, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
No employer loyalty, only stress, redundancies not always available, managed out more likely
Sadly true for most employers.
Love your videos. Brilliantly put together. As I'm 49, is it too late for me to start investing, as I feel like I've missed the boat?
No way! You could live another 40-50 years! Investing into a pension (workplace/SIPP) may be a good move as you will be able to access it relatively soon.
Also, what is your goal in investing and by when do you want to reach your target.
NEVER! Please start. Get on the boat 😀
Great info, as usual. Thanks. I totally agree about layoff. It can be away of getting a nice lump sum. In my last role, I asked for redundancy and invested that fat check. I walked into another job easily.
Very nice!
Absolutely invaluable advice in this article! 🌟
Glad you think so!

This is real! We should make a video on this topic. What would you title a video like that?

I would love to know more about your events. I know you had one recently but the timing wasn’t right for me. When is the next one

I don't know why people care about being loyal to their employer, work is completely transactional.
😄🤣

We've made one 😊. Watch this ruclips.net/video/isq_2tw6pdQ/видео.html
Guys I want to set up on the S&P 500 but don't know who to set it up via.... any suggestions?
Which company do you use for health and life insurance? Thank you both
Vitality
Staying in one job too long is so true. I actually learnt the more you change jobs, the more you earn😅
True 👍🏾
Tried to get life insurance but was declined because I don’t have an ilr yet.
Ah! Interesting they require ILR
Hmm, maybe try with a different broker? A few years ago I managed to get life insurance and critical care cover before I got ILR
Just up to 9k a year 👀
Never believed I would be saying
That's so small 🤣😂👀
😂
Here I was telling the Mrs I’m staying in this job longer because they’re nice people. But I’m going back to switching every year.
Haha 😄
10k for a flashy car? Can’t be flashy you will need to x that by 4 at least
I pile advise to now hold on to car until end of Nov then trade in for same value with newer plate less mileage and in mean time up your bargaining skills !
Car sales are more desperate to accept in June and dec so research now for what you want , fire in Nov

Possibly In the same category as #10, not having a large enough emergency fund
