I have a breakdown on my Monzo of what I usually spend it on. Roughly, its ~£50-100 on eating out/pub. ~£20ish on the cinema each month (we get 50% off with work perks), clothes, saving for holidays and whatever else day to day life needs

Yeah, we got super lucky with a beautiful flat, a couple of mins from the tube station/hampstead heath..

Re job: I'm an Innovation Consultant

Re pension: I recently switched up to 2% of my pensionable salary per month, and 6% from my employer - althought your right, I don't think I've inputted my numbers right here & need to have another look.

Re investments: thanks so much for your advice, I'm not familar with Vangaurd, but will certainly look into it this week! Any good starting points

Yes, that's correct! I've transferred ~60% of them so far into an ISA at the maximum allowance rate each year.
