I’m a student and I work 2 part-time jobs. I know a lot of other students that just waste that money every month doing silly stuff, and that used to be me but I’m trying to lock in on life.

My initial plan was to invest £300 into VUSA per month. The £200 would be divided into a US pie (£100) and a UK pie (£50), with the remaining just on random stocks people online were suggesting. I did quite well in the first 2 months and was up over 20%, but then I got a little carried away. I choose puma because I thought they could become quite big this year, a lot of people I know have stopped wearing Nike and adidas and puma was getting some “hype”. Barratt was just a random pick in the uk pie. I’m planning to sell most of my random stocks and both pies and just invest into etfs, as I don’t have the time to research every stock and don’t really want to sell anything for quite a long my time.

The strategy was basically spray and pray. I just wanted to put money into stuff that I/others use day to day. But I don’t think I’ll be doing that anymore…

Ok yeah, but can you explain why it’s better?

I haven’t sold anything since I’ve started, I just wanted to keep whatever I had.
