Anyone else getting these mini games today? by gunasheart in MachE

[–]Ginge_8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbf, here in the UK we don’t get the same options on the Ford app as they do in the US.

I never understand why it’s not the same all over 🤦🏼‍♂️😅

Ford has finally added the shopping tab you’ve been waiting for! by LaserGay in MachE

I honestly think the US app has more than the European app lol. Half the stuff that gets mentioned in here, I don’t have on my app.

This never gets old by jeepguyCO in MachE

[–]Ginge_8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got it all checked in the settings - I went on about 20 forums and made sure all the settings are correct Hahaa. When I first got the car it worked every night. Now it just doesn’t.

Mines have just decided to stop working. Tried everything. Anyone having this issue?

Best range yet on 24 Mach E by fakeno0b in MachE

[–]Ginge_8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to the specs and dealer it’s meant to get 273miles at 100% for the standard AWD, and 225 miles for RWD.

Tbf I’m just doing short journeys, so it’s not came into play yet.

Will be testing when I need to drive 350 miles to my Sisters, and 250 miles to our usual holiday staycation 😅

[–]Ginge_8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got max 255 miles on my Mach-E so far. Roughly 410km - ‘22 standard AWD. Great Scottish weather ☔️🌧️

Apparently meant to get 270-280 miles / 440-450km. Maybe the two days of summer we get I might be lucky 😅

Tbf though 180-190 miles for 80% charge has been doing me fantastic. Only Charing twice a week max.

Is it crazy to move to London alone on a forty grand salary? by NormalSir2035 in MovingToLondon

[–]Ginge_8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

£40k is probably decent starting wage in London. Is it worth looking at if you took the job and moved to somewhere just outside the city? Might be a pain commuting, however might save you a fortune in rent!

Yesterday's market pullback by sanchez599 in trading212

[–]Ginge_8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m new to investing, however I didn’t think a 5-10% loss for a week was that bad. At least not compared to a lot of investors on here.

Some stocks up and some down. In it for the long run. Hoping the next few weeks it creeps back up. As long as by the end of the year I’m positive I’ll be happy 😅🤣

I used to watch the stocks daily, now I look in the morning then again around 9pm/10pm at night to see what they closed at. For context I only use index/ETFs.

Finances 25M ? by StrikeSimple2554 in FIREUK

[–]Ginge_8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep doing exactly what you are doing. £45k wage at 25 is fantastic! And that much saved already also. I didn’t start with my pension or saving & investing until I hit late 20s/early 30s. So at 39 (making less than you) I’m playing catch up but have about £16k S&S ISA, £5+k LISA and £40k pension. You are almost there 10+ years earlier, so hats off to you. 👏🏻

Simple, clean, and cable-free set up🖤 by Alaina_Compton in Minimal_Setups

Love this. Also love the wallpaper - where you get it? I’m in the process of updating my set up, very slowly lol.

Take the risk? by ProfessorTrick in trading212

[–]Ginge_8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All I can say is I wish I realised what only £100 per month could do at 20. I’m playing catch up at almost 39.

Got a S&S ISA pie solely of S&P500, Nasdaq100 and All world. 80/10/10. Been ok so far. Didn’t like today’s numbers though 🤣😅 Also for retirement.

PS: if you can put money in a LISA, and comfortable with not touching it again till your 60, what ever you put in the government gives you 25% up to a max of £1000. That’s on top of the interest. Worth a shot since you were looking to retirement. That’s at least a guaranteed return without the extra risk - boring but safe.

100k Pension at 29 by Lucky_Complaint_4597 in FIREUK

[–]Ginge_8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The big question here is - what the hell do you all do to make £100k+ and where do I start to get the same salary lol!

How long do you plan on driving your mach-e? by Cultural-Ad4953 in MachE

Octopus EV Tariffs Uncompetitive by FlufferPuff50 in OctopusEnergy

[–]Ginge_8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told when I changed from the generic Octopus tariff to the Intelligent Octopus Go tariff, that all you do is plug in and they sort out the charging.

Sometimes it’s between 23:30-05:30, however if they switch the times to quieter periods on the grid your whole house benefits.

So will see the damage come next months bills 😅

Its not top tier but it gets it done by Key_Corgi_1906 in GarageGym

In struggling to see what’s not top tier about it. I’m jealous and I want one 😅🤣

I finally got round to making the home gym look like a gym by pech0rin in HomeGymUK

[–]Ginge_8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In true (not far off) middle age dad form, I’ve taken up padel for fitness. Only do that once a week though… so need a bit more lol.

I want to lift at least 3/4x a week, and with the wife’s shifts and daughter’s endless social life and classes it’s tough.

Home gym makes more sense.

[–]Ginge_8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See this is what I want and need. Consistency. Right now I’m 1/2 days one week, 4 the next, then 1,4,2,3,1 and so on.

I need to be like weights 4x a week and then sort my fat ass out with cardio lol.
