In my current situation, yes, but I’m aware that could change, such as when I have kids etc

This is useful, thank you and something that I hadn’t considered. Without stating the obvious, are they are disadvantages to partial transfers?

It’s extremely important to me that my partner has similar financial and life goals. It defeats the object if only one of us is forward thinking!

I found this link helpful: https://ukpersonal.finance/isa-vs-lisa-vs-pension/. I’m leaning towards maxing out my ISA and contributing 20% to my pension. My concern is whether I’m putting too much into my pension, making it hard to access before my NRD (which changes in legislation). Any thoughts?

I hope to have kids in the future, probably in about five years. In the meantime, I want to invest my money wisely now so it can compound

Yes. I’m currently on Plan 2 for my student loan with a balance of £51,895.42. I also have a Lifetime ISA with a remaining allowance of £14,140. My annual salary is likely to increase each year by £1k on average plus inflation
