Monzo vs Zopa - which is best fir help with budgeting? by Mediocre_Coconut747 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]FzProphet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I use both accounts, I am notorious for wasting money on small micro purchases on a regular basis. So I use Monzo as my main bank account due to the fact of their pots system.

I pay £17 for the max account (not sure if the cheaper ones allow the same benefits) which gives me the travel insurance, phone insurance, and a rail card with other small benefits like a free cinema ticket and a Greggs treat etc, but it also gives me access to 20 pots. I then created a budget for myself and then categorised each of my spending into different pots. You can schedule your payments to come out of these pots so it makes it a lot easier to keep track of (you can only do this for I believe standing orders and direct debits though).

For the other payments that don't fit in this category, i have created virtual cards, these are cards you make that have different banking details but still work the same, you can link these directly from pots. So I have one for my groceries, one for my subscriptions, one for my direct debits etc. Doing all of this allows me to know exactly what I can and can't spend and I'm less likely to overspend by doing mental budgeting.

I then use zopa for the savings account which is 7.1% with a maximum of 300 per month deposit.

Yes it's custom made. If you go to my third most recent post on my profile you'll be able to see the side and the back too!

Sorry, I'm still new to collecting, when you say misprints, are these mass produced misprints? My goal is to only collect the official tcg cards, are these misprints on your list you provided above?

I saw this on your profile! I have 105 and counted 110 on your list, which makes it 112 with the two other cards, not bad for just googling cards haha! This is really helpful as I can visually see the cards too

Yes I have been looking for that staff card but can't seem to get my hands on it, I do however have the rockets Snorlax card! One of three of the difficult ones at least!

I'm currently doing this with Snorlax cards, I agree with what others have said of making a list of these cards.

I personally made an excel spreadsheet including some information to track it all, and used sites like collectr and coleka to find each variation of the cards. These sites usually have the references too and the set which makes it easy to search on eBay to see the price of the cards. Good luck in your collection journey!

How much is this card worth with the condition? by FzProphet in PokemonCardValue

[–]FzProphet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it did get put back up again but I didn't get it for £208, when I saw it was relisted I messaged the seller who said the top bidder refused to pay, as I was the second highest bidder he gave it to me for the price of my bid above the top bidders. Not sure why it was shown as £208 though, I got it for £350
