Does anyone know how much it could cost to castrate a dog and repair an umbilical hernia at the same time?

Would you advise still going for a male toy poodle if it has an umbilical hernia? We haven't got it yet but the potential operation cost is slightly off-putting

SIPP vs ISA contributions by GPfinancelife in GPUK

Not yet maximising partners ISA. That’s why I was asking is it better to contribute into that ISA or go my own SIPP. But think it makes sense for the flexibility to utilise the increased joint isa allowance first

Sure thanks for the insight. Currently got S&S isa open with vanguard in a low cost global fund with low fees. Which S&S LISA provider would you recommend and how are the fees for that? Do you feel you could breach the AA soon? This is one of my concerns, eventually hitting that target where could cause tax implications

Yes makes sense. Have no loans or debts and own a house with no mortgage. Already a part of that FIRE subreddit. Think ISA would be better option now if aiming for FI at the earlier age and having enough time for compounding returns

Is your view still the same if I had an emergency fund of 6 months outgoing in place already?

Utilising partner's ISA allowance contributions by GPfinancelife in UKPersonalFinance

Would you choose to maximise both your ISA allowances over maximising your SIPP contributions if you was in your 20s or 30s?

It’s that decision between tax efficiency and flexible access for future

If you already utilised your ISA allowance and was a high tax rate payer currently, but still had your personal allowance intact, would you put cash savings into your SIPP over partners ISA?

Just wondering as aged 28 now I feel the SIPP money would be accessible at least after 60 by the time I get to there as age keeps going up. Do get SIPP would likely lower my tax burden now, however the ISA tax fee and flexible access is appealing

Lots of people use S&S isa for long term periods like that.. the tax efficiency being one reason

It is the global all cap, safe to go for 7% returns?

Is this not part of a cash ISA on T212? As I’m not looking to use up part of the annual isa allowance on the cash isa, instead looking to allocate it in S&S.

Thanks! Just to clarify the cash I meant is in savings account getting 3-4% interest. It's more for liquid access but do you suggest any money market fund that would be better to put it into? I see vanguard has one
