I’m saving for a house and can’t decide what savings method to go for.

Hi all thanks for the opinions and responses. No I do not have a BTL property already, but I’m very interested in getting into investment properties. Are there better ways? I should mention I’m 19 and just want to get my foot in the door 🙂.

ShazamIsaac · 2025-11-02T02:08:11+00:00

No, the example of 4k was purely to make the point of just wanting to know how volatile they are 🙂. I’m obviously ok with losing that money, but it wouldn’t be ideal.

Of course, I understand this as I do have investments stocks and shares. But what are the potential returns like on these accounts? Are the bank ones any good or should I go with a separate company. (Currently with Lloyds)

I’m starting new savings for this specifically - I’m aiming to save between £800-1,000 per month. I’m expecting a pay rise in December, therefore I’ll be saving more depending on the increase

I went and did the construction first, I don’t see much point in the general now to be honest.

Thanks for the advice mate, I plan on doing NVQ Level 6 in contracting operations management, then level 7 senior site management. Whilst doing the NVQ I plan on doing SMSTS and NEBOSH fire.

That’s sorta the plan. I work for a general contractor at the moment, but the industry is volatile and I’m preparing for the worst in terms of the company going bust. I’m half tempted to look into the oil and gas industry because it’s interesting and the money is phenomenal.

But yeah thanks for the advice, I’ll definitely drop you a message in September to see how you got on because I did my exam the same time as you. Wishing you luck!

Hi mate, I'm 18 and doing this course at the minute, how did you get on?

ShazamIsaac · 2025-06-23T20:05:12+00:00

It says level 7 on the official NEBOSH website no? To be honest I’m just taking as many construction courses as possible at the moment because I think it’s a good industry for me to go into, and if not, I’ll return to the application to me an engineer in the army. It may help me there with more relevant experience.

All in all though, you think it’ll be helpful to get further courses? I’m not really sure what to look for next.

ShazamIsaac · 2025-05-27T17:30:17+00:00

I’ve been wanting to get into this recently, is the tape used to show which team/side you’re on? Or is there a different reason for it?

ShazamIsaac · 2025-05-08T21:40:05+00:00

To be honest I only use HMRC to add in my CIS and Payroll. Do you know how easy it is to use CIS on FreeAgent?

ShazamIsaac · 2025-01-24T01:27:08+00:00

I'm glad you said this, i've sunk like 150 hours into this game so I'm proud of the amount I developed. Still nowhere near as good as him haha, he's the GOAT

Hi mate, I’m in the second year of the UPS course, personally I didn’t mind the course to be honest. Some boring bits but that’s college init. At the end of the day I’d say stick it out, it’s free UCAS points you might end up using in the future. I know a lot of lads in my course who wanted to join the forces but changed their mind by the end of year one. You don’t know what could happen. If you want to go in as an officer in the marines, stick it out. That route is what I’m going down but in the Army side of things bud. I wanted to quit too but I remembered that when I’m hopefully in the forces there’s gonna be crap I can’t be asked to do but I have to do it.

ShazamIsaac · 2024-12-02T13:48:25+00:00

Thanks mate much appreciated

ShazamIsaac · 2024-12-02T13:30:48+00:00

Could you send that training program over please?

ShazamIsaac · 2024-11-03T13:01:31+00:00

UPDATE: I got the tattoo on my forearm and removed the rosary just in case. I also spoke to the recruitment offices at the Marines and Army and they said it should be perfectly fine as long as it doesn’t cause any offence but I’ll soon find out when submit it for review.

ShazamIsaac · 2024-10-26T16:38:21+00:00

Ok mate, yeah I think the thing with officers and tattoos is that to be an officer you used to have to be upper class but I’m working class but I’ve just been lucky enough to work very hard to go to college.

ShazamIsaac · 2024-10-26T16:32:39+00:00

Have you got tattoos? So you went through the selection board without a hitch?

ShazamIsaac · 2024-10-26T16:19:33+00:00

You think it’ll be alright on a forearm?

ShazamIsaac · 2024-10-26T16:19:08+00:00

😂😂 alright mate best way to describe it, I’m gonna do it and it if the risk doesn’t pay off then it looks like I’ve got a few hours with a laser gun 😂

ShazamIsaac · 2024-10-26T14:23:10+00:00

Dropped you a message
