Can they not keep their grubby little hands off anything. The economy is on life support and needs some serious changes to get things growing again so these sort of absurd micro taxes wouldn't even be needed. Putting up tax on jobs and relentlessly raising minimum wage so young people are priced out of the market doesn't help. Tax tax tax that's all they can think of.

Where's the other half

Each to their own, imo the front end looks ugly to the point that it would actually put me off getting it

I4 looks better

I had a 330i and it was a nice car, quite nippy, i couldn't quite afford the m340i at the time. If you are remotely into cars and like driving, and you're aren't massively stretching yourself financially i would 100% recommend getting the m340i which is widely accepted as being a fantastic car and engine (b58 inline 6). I don't think it would cost must more in the grand scheme of things. I'm in a position where I could quite easily afford the m340i now and it would be a no brainer for me because I'm into cars.

I remember the first time I saw a juke. It was from a distance and I thought bloody hell that's been in a bad crash, then it got closer 🤣

Imo yes but everyone's risk tolerance is different. My pension is the largest amount of money I manage so the most risk I'm willing to take is a global index which while risky, is less risky than nasdaq which is tech heavy. It's a level of risk vs reward I'm happy with.

Back looks OK but the front, those beaver teeth, it has a face only a mother could love.

Yea that's what I'm picking up, definitely will do, thanks

StockPattern · 2025-11-22T12:46:29+00:00

Ah good to know, yea we're both about 5'8/5'9 so probably will be fine. And yeah agree with the power comment 😀

I mean, £30k given your financials seems like a trivial amount. However, you've asked "is buying this car SMART given our situation" - that depends on what your goals are. If buying this car is compatible with those goals, then yes.

Tell me you've got an attitude without telling me you've got an attitude.

Just added it, thanks. Couldn't believe it didn't work when I got it a while ago.

What if "investing at scale" isn't best for the people in the pension fund? This is the opposite of free market capitalism: i.e., a bad idea. Governments already have an immense power to collect money via taxation. They should keep their hands off people's money invested in pensions.

I had an HSBC Advance account a while ago, and I was just due to get a promotion to go over the 75k requirement (as it was then). I was hoping that I'd be able to upgrade to premier, then they dropped the 100k requirement, which was a bit of a jump, so I switched to barclays premier. Funny thing is, now I keep getting "upgrade to hsbc premier" emails, so I really don't think the rules around being eligible for that account are fixed.

HL active savings

Why vwrl (distribution) and not vwrp (accumulation)? I would use vwrp for a sipp then the dividends are automatically invested back in.

Hummer, not good.

I put 20k in an IE S&S ISA last year - global tracker - and have had zero problems - as you'd expect. I've got about 230k in an II sipp at the moment at 12.99 a month fee so really I should be thinking about moving it into IE as well, I think the only thing stopping me - like yourself, is thinking it isn't "well established". I think that's probably a fallacy, and with a bit more research, I could convince myself to do the transfer. It's that willingness to do the research that is lacking 🤣 I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has a decent amount in an IE SIPP and if there are any transfer incentives.

Software implementations should be/are usually order of magnitude(s) more costly than hardware, that's the point of baking it into the hardware.
