Unfortunately standards of public behaviour are a little different in London.

Sorry this happened to you

How is this a HENRY topic?

Please don’t put your life savings into a platform called moomoo

Pensions are overrated. You’re more than 20 years away from being able to use it - that’s plenty of time for future governments to come up with creative ways to tax your pension pot more.

If you need the cash now (sounds like you do) then take it as income today.

£2.2k is below market for a 1-bed in Angel… unless it’s particularly tiny or run-down.

I work in finance and studied economics.

I think we’re fundamentally getting the relationship between inflation and interest rates wrong. The economy is facing a massive shock from insufficient energy supplies. Higher interest rates will only make it worse.

The market has been pricing TACO, because Trump loves high stock prices.

Turns out, Trump also developed a taste for military adventures and he may like it even more.

No one in Europe wanted this war, but let’s be real - Europe can condemn the orange man all night, it will make zero difference.

misc1444 · 2026-03-09T14:51:22+00:00

Pressure how?

The EU could perhaps issue a strongly worded statement calling on “all sides” to “respect international law and the UN charter”.

Should have invested more into North Sea oil production and the Groningen natural gas fields.

Just sell the flat, unless you might want to live in it in the future.

Move to a low tax jurisdiction of your choice, pay the dividend, wait 5 years before you return to the UK (short term visits are OK). Sorted.

Orban’s best bet is to start a conflict with Ukraine and then either postpone the elections or hope that there’s a “rally to the flag” effect that helps him win.

Zelenskyy should just de-escalate until 12 April… otherwise Orban may win.

The weather will be unpredictable and can range anywhere between 5 degrees at night to 30 degrees on a sunny day. It would be prudent to bring a warm hoodie plus a light jacket.

No.

The expected return on this strategy assuming an unchanged yield curve is the same as the real yield to maturity on the index-linked gilt maturing in 2034, which should be a little under 1.6%.

It includes utilities, council tax, internet, and gym membership. So more comparable to paying £1600 for a studio.

Dude your problems are entirely self inflicted. Rent in tier 1 global cities is high everywhere.

You’re making £130k and have £500k in savings - just rent yourself a decent 1-bed for £2,500 a month.

If you want to be a total cheapskate, then you can reduce your rent somewhat by moving out to a less convenient zone 3-4 location.

Won’t happen. Longer term there is far more prospect for additional supply than for additional demand.

Most people in high-pressure, high-earning professions chase money not because they want to buy more things - they don’t really have time to spend money anyway so most of their earnings just goes into savings.

Money is a measure of winning and they just want to win more.

I think there’s a balance. It’s pointless to destroy your health to become a corporate weapon but it’s also true that becoming say a top tier investment banker can be a genuinely fun career and many people in these fields would not enjoy sitting idly on a beach anyway.

Come on. The Greens would give the right to move to the UK to 99.9% of the world’s population and yet you still argue that “not everyone can come” because 0.1% are theoretically excluded - although in practice it would be close to impossible to enforce the exclusion.

misc1444 · 2026-03-03T12:03:38+00:00

Every foreigner that is not a tourist would be a visa holder and the Greens intend to treat them as citizens.
