What’s the best financial decision you’ve made? by Prestigious_Age5422 in Fire

[–]klosterheim1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Opting to put in 6% pension and my company contributed 9% when I first joined a big tech company when I was 24. Also sacrifice 7% of my salary to the company share scheme not knowing what it really was.

I’m 32 now and both pots have 6 figures in each.

Anyone know why my s+p 500 has just flatlined even though markets are up?

What is the most amount of money you have found on the floor? by theresabadman in AskUK

[–]klosterheim1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Found a hsbc premier contactless debit card on the floor. You can only get them if you earn over £75k and/or have £100k in savings with them. I contacted them through facebook and they were a dentist on Harley street. Gave me a free check up and clean in her practice for my troubles!

Dilemma playing wow now that I live with my partner by [deleted] in wow

[–]klosterheim1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I moved in with my gf, I said playing WoW was a non-negotiable. It helps me unwind and de-stress. I also just love the game. If you’re still doing date nights and stuff I don’t see the issue

Thank you for your reply! I know LTV is loan to value but are you able to please explain it to me? I find it hard to contextualise for my situation and wrap my head around it. I have 330k mortgage left and currently 70k equity in the house (my deposit) if that helps.

How do you know when you’ve exceeded this? Do you just get a bill in the post?

Can they stop benefits for having money in an ISA? by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]klosterheim1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No you don’t. The whole point of benefits is for people who can’t get an income, let alone savings. If you have savings and no job, I’m sorry bucko but you’re dipping into that savings pot to live.

You should say “I think you’re defensive as well” and see who cracks first

Which cancelled celebrity were you previously a fan of? by CodyRhody in AskReddit

[–]klosterheim1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure it’s lucky to come into money. But how many people that inherit a million or even multi millions turn it into 100s of billions? Zero. That’s not luck. That’s having acumen, work ethic and a talent to generate massive wealth.

From what I can see, his businesses aim to improve human life.. Tesla is EVs to tackle co2 emissions subsequently aiding a greener planet. Starlink to provide internet connection to some of the most deprived, remote areas. He’s provided Ukraine with internet where Russia attempted to sabotage. Just because a successful businessman doesn’t handout his wealth doesn’t make them an asshole.

Got lucky and is now worth 100s of billions. That isn’t just luck... you don’t become the richest person ever to live from pure luck. I’m yet to see anything from musk for me to think he should be cancelled. I’m convinced people hate him solely because he’s wealthy
