    I'm not hugely knowledgeable on the stock market, but my partner is doing a lot of research. One thing he recently read was about investing essentially said that investing consistently is key, so when the market is up, you put money in, and when it's down you keep putting money in. That means when shares prices go back up, you'll have bought some shares at a higher price, and some at a lower price and things even out. If you've stopped now, then you don't have the advantage of having bought shares at a lower price. This is defs a long term investment approach, but I assume that's what you're going for.
    Anyway, I definitely don't know a ton about shares, but I thought that might be interesting for you just because you mentioned having stopped buying in!

    I've saved so much in the past four years, i'm buying my first house, in cash, in April 2021. I'm 28 years old and on £24,000 basic wage (£30,000+ with overtime). Put in 10% more effort and gained 20% more reward. It's about efficiency and making the most of your free time to be productive, whilst cutting the unecessary costs. It takes sacrifice and commitment though!

    That was a fantastic video! I do have some questions in regards to your expenses. So here it goes! How do you pay for things like hair salons, nails, coffee, gifts for birthdays and xmas, home repairs? Things like car insurance and cell phone bills plus food is so much cheaper there! When I add not just food but also cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, toilet paper, paper towels, etc, $200 or 250 pounds would not be enough here for the months! I think we pay about 500 USD per months and that is not including alcohol which can can expensive as well! I think it’s nice of you to contribute to your family’s food budget since it’s not free for them either! You are such a responsible young lady at such a young age! Well done 👍🏼! Hugs 🤗

Also for your phone I’m sure you should be able to find a cheaper deal they usually pop up seasonally mine has gone down to £16 from 30 just from looking at deals but keep the same benefits such unlimited texts calls etc

    • @HomeWithShan
      @HomeWithShan  4 роки тому

      Crypto Batman I disagree that getting 0% finance deals is a bad thing, merely allows you to spread the cost of larger purchases, without paying any extra. The alternative is to save up all the money and buy it outright, no difference isn’t he money you spend though.
      You’re probably right about the stocks and shares element, however like I said, I am no expert in this and all I could see is my money disappearing! I put the money that I would have been investing to good use and bought a new car though!

      @@HomeWithShan Difference of opinion with regards to 0% . On paper it does make sense. You naturally tend to bargain and hassle the seller. u automatically believe u have more choices, control and can walk away from the deal..... Spreading the cost with 0% deal or interest free credit card is a bad idea in general. Some smart people make it work, but many will get into these habits and accumulate monthly payments.

    Is this really budgeting? It looks like more of tracking money instead. Plus you said you're saving 700 and in the end you show you save 100 or so. If you save from one side but spend on other so that's spending in the end. Budgeting is living in London by yourself and keeping 50% of your salary in the pocket. I won't forget those 34£ for phone 😂
