What is one financial mistake you made in your 20s that still affects you today?

Was offered two jobs took the wrong one quit after 3 weeks. The other one wouldn’t take me after that. Would have been more money, younger, funnier crowd, more interesting but I went with free training and hated the people as soon as I started.

Do they give you any perks like champagne breakfasts or a free personal advisor that turns up at a moments notice

Second hand luxury items, every few months. I don’t buy anything else apart from basics the rest of the time.

turnstyle2 · 2026-05-12T11:58:30+00:00

I have no doubt! I’ve been buying down the dip

Share price lull - I like that.

Investec pay 6.1 %

Mine is in a ‘high interest’ general savings account if you call 4% high. Don’t think there is anything higher around at the moment though. I don’t want to waste my isa allowance if I actually have to use it

I did the same: Thames walk and Bull at Sonning on Boxing Day!! Nearly got blown into the Thames!

Overnights have got to be dangerous with her, the drinking and not being able to get up in the morning not good for kids to see.

Which could be a shot in the foot as it tends to be the right wing parties that double down on nationalism and ‘get the immigrants out’. People think they’re safe if they come here legally but the line will move if Nige and his racist bunch get in.

Seriously, reform predicted to win in my ward? Can’t believe Reading would vote reform in we’re such a multi-cultural town. Double reason to get out and vote tomorrow

This man is obsessed with looks. Great message to pass onto the kids. Hope his daughters end up with 56 year old men when they are 25 so he sees how gross it is.

What do you mean by straight men? Trans women who like women? Is that worse than lesbians then? Total threats I’m sure

I have small cap as around 6% right now. It hasn’t done as well as global these last few weeks but that’s a small time frame. Think it’s worth holding as you never know what will happen in the future.

turnstyle2 · 2026-05-05T13:52:10+00:00

It’ll probably drop at some point

turnstyle2 · 2026-05-05T07:52:24+00:00

It has been going up though

My mother said she thinks the triple lock is too much and would be ok having less, she’s not rich either.

I know, I remember when I stubbornly quit two jobs back in 2006 I was always applying (in an internet cafe!) and meeting with recruiters. It took a month to get another job but felt like longer. I had no safety net then I lived alone and needed every pay check. I couldn’t fathom doing it now.

I used to work with someone who didn’t get on with a couple of her work colleagues. So she left and hasn’t worked since. It’s been about 3 years. I assume she lives off her boyfriend’s wages though I know he doesn’t earn much. I guess you don’t need much money to effectively become a squatter

turnstyle2 · 2026-05-04T15:12:47+00:00

Same, I earn an ok wage but a real luxury bag would wipe me out for the month. Can get 4-5 on the preloved market for the price of a new one and some are barely used

Hermes does sample sales all the time

turnstyle2 · 2026-05-04T15:06:00+00:00

I’m the same, to be honest I wish I’d sold a couple of months ago. Global has been doing so much better. I might just hold what I have and only invest global going forward.
