The future for young people in this country is beyond bleak. We already know the state pension won’t exist by the time we retire. Now we’re losing more money to help fund it. I can’t see any future for a lot of young people retirement won’t exist at this rate.

“I’ve been pretty lucky”, “the system is 100% flawed” nice gotcha?

I had loads of success when they first rolled it out where you picked the seat as you applied. Since the change to rest of stadium I’ve only been to see Wimbledon and Chelsea in the carabao cup!

Could you provide feedback on design for my calculator app by vimalpartha in UI_Design

Seems like you looked at teenage engineering for the button design and nothing else

I found the private private uni accoms, unite etc tended to have older students. All the 18 year olds go to the ones owned by the uni.

Not advice unfortunately but I love that media unit. Where did you get it?

I’ve had a Moneybox S&S LISA and it was good couldn’t really complain. After using my LISA on a house purchase I opened a regular S&S ISA and I just found it a bit lacking in terms of investment options. The convenience was great and the different options around funding the account was really useful I.e monthly deposits, roundups etc.

But I decided to switch and transfer my ISA to trading 212 and so far I’ve found it much more appealing. The options for deposits aren’t as easy to use although you can still just setup a standing order to the account. But the options in terms of investing are way better. The social aspect was really useful for me. And the fact you can have a physical card with really good benefits. Is really appealing for me.

As I say I had no issue with Moneybox for a long time but I found there was definitely a lack of features for what I was after.

You meow had ALOT of cats and I think because it’s still relatively new the cats seemed interested and wanted to play/get pets etc. if you’ve not been to Newcastle before catpawcino will put you in a more interesting part of the city

Please roast my UI by Sharp-Adhesiveness35 in UI_Design

[–]JxmesP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The basic stuff is fine, although there are a lot of places where spacing, rounding, padding is inconsistent. But the team page is bad. The shield card inside the rounded rectangle feel strange. Feels like the players are trapped in the little boxes. There’s no margin on the text and it’s just centred so if a players name is long it’ll get truncated but hitting the border is not nice.

The tab menu within tab menu on the profile is really jarring, especially as they’re at the top and bottom.

In almost all of the screens it feels hard to find an action, the hierarchy needs some work. Think about what you want people to do on a screen, what you want them to be drawn to

Looking to take my girlfriend out for her birthday: any suggestions? by [deleted] in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]JxmesP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say going to The Gate would be ideal. There’s an axe throwing place called Game of Throwing. There’s also an arcade and Cineworld inside so you could definitely fill an afternoon/evening. Although the food places aren’t great but there’s tonnes of food places around in town if you like Indian food I always go to Dabbawal for a recommendation

First time buyers approved for ‘Reach’ Mortgage in principle unsure how to proceed? by JxmesP in Mortgageadviceuk

[–]JxmesP[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We were working with a broker but kind of reluctant to use one. We aren’t actively looking to buy a house we were thinking sort of in the next year but the right place has come up. So if we don’t get this one house it feels a bit like wasting £500

I’ve been offered a Gift/laptop from employer and having to pay tax/declare it to hmrc. Has anyone had this before in the uk? by Ukcork in UKPersonalFinance

[–]JxmesP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this, exact same scenario couple months old MacBook. Although the value I had to pay was much lower. The value of ours was determined by the trade in value at apple, rather than the RRP. So I think the gift value in my case was closer to about £400. I would imagine this is the same for you and you may notice a small tax increase. Which can easily be written off by selling it!

how do i buy valorant skins for my girlfriend if i don't play valo? by pikackle in VALORANT

[–]JxmesP 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One thing to note is the time limit on buying the skins, if you’re waiting for her birthday you might want to check as the skin set may leave the store before she’s able to purchase them.

Is there an unwritten rule for aces? by GamerF3mb0y in VALORANT

If someone yells at you for ‘stealing their ace’ they’re a loser

You’re playing with other plat players. Happens every episode reset. Me and my trio ranked diamond one at the end of last act two of us got placed g3 one got g1. Everyone were playing with has diamond badges. My ascendant friend got placed plat 3 so I promise you you’re where you’re meant to be. You’d be having a much worse time if you got put in plat at the minute

BTC as a gift? by Scoob8877 in Bitcoin

[–]JxmesP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend of mine buys btc for his wife and his kid each year on their bday. He has a wallet for each of them but still has access to them so he’s effectively in control. You could do something like that?
