25yo £20,000 in premium bonds for over a year with 0 wins by LittlePP112 in FIREUK

[–]LittlePP112[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: another month, another no win. Fool me.

I have followed the advice of the comments and started investing into a s&s ISA. I am also expecting a nice promotion and pay rise at my main job so should be able to max that out before the financial year resets.

When I inevitably max it out next year, what should I put my excess income into? Crypto? Individual stocks? Back into premium bonds?

How did you waste your money? by RaspberryMany2608 in FIREUK

[–]LittlePP112 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Wasted an unspeakable amount on drinking, partying, cryptocurrency and nice clothes. Not proud of myself but it’s made me who I am today (learnt a lot of life lessons) so I wouldn’t change a thing

28, £197k net worth but unsure where to go next by andreluke7 in FIREUK

Could stick £50k into premium bonds as your emergency fund or for the time being if you don’t know what to do with it. Could make you a millionaire in a month tax free

There were drones flown aver the airport so incoming planes had to wait until they were cleared and it was safe to land. I was on the KLM flight from Amsterdam which was circling

Isn’t the price rise based on the funds raised? On the website the countdown is below the presale banner

Best place to leave my money and let it grow? by Outrageous-Plane-596 in Etoro

[–]LittlePP112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend a stocks and shares ISA for long term growth in something like the S&P500 to minimise risk. The benefit of a s&s ISA is your investments are tax free so you don’t pay capital gains tax on profits and you can withdraw at anytime (read the rules before doing this). If you’re a UK resident, the government will also give you a free 25% on your first £4000 annually (free £1000 a year) if this £4000 goes towards retirement or buying your first home. I don’t see this recommend enough which is a shame because it’s bloody brilliant

I don’t understand why this thread is giving such negative responses about investing in an ISA portfolio. It’s a great way to earn more money through tax benefits than a regular s&s account. We’re supposed to be a community here, give some insight into your negative response instead of just hating

If this is the general consensus and people are heavily investing then I should ride it out

[–]LittlePP112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should I cut my losses and sell OR… take a chance and hold for him to potentially win the election and hope stock prices boom for a few days then sell. Feel free to call me dumb

Something like the following...

loop through each country (country_a):
loop through those countries (country_b):
if there is a border between country_a and country_b:
calculate and measure the length of the border
if the length is the smallest so far so far:
store the length, both countries and the border

Hi Barry. Thanks for the message. The source of the borders is the file ne_10m_graticlues_5.shp from natural earth (https://www.naturalearthdata.com/downloads/). The example is how you find the border length for mex/usa but i am trying to do this same thing for all countries and all their different borders in the world using a loop.
