Nice Guy Money - Freddie Winter

Can’t remember the last time I was genuinely proud of myself 🙌🏼

I think it’s easy to set high expectations for yourself or always be comparing yourself upwards that you don’t appreciate your accomplishments.

Today though, I’m honestly so pleased with what I’ve achieved 🙌

In my local 20 mile race 🏃‍♂️ I did far better than I was expecting and was delighted I was able to dig in and get a time even better than my most optimistic predictions 💪

I certainly wasn’t setting any course records but I don’t care. I bettered myself. I surprised myself ✨

I took on a challenge and did it ✅

Makes me think that I — and maybe people in general — don’t stop and appreciate how far they’ve come and what they achieve.

Maybe it’s British modesty 🇬🇧 or the fact there is always someone better, faster, stronger.

However we should!

Happy Sunday everyone 😊 I’m now going to enjoy another well‑earned beer 🍺 and lots of pizza 🍕🍕

What is a ‘High-paid’ job these days❓

I was asked for comment for Metro in today’s article 📰

My view is that the old £100k mark is no longer high-paid. Do you agree?? 🤔

The clients I provide financial advice to at this level of income, who have kids and a mortgage, are hardly cruising financially.

Times have changed. Life is more expensive.

Do you agree❓

MONEY TIP No. 1️⃣1️⃣

This is the tip that everyone puts off, have you❓

All it needs is probably an hour chat with a solicitor or Will writer.

MONEY TIP No. 🔟

❌ Do NOT think: “It will never happen to me!”

It happens and it can ruin people and families financially!

You need cover for death and illness so you have reassurance if the worst happens.

Just covering the mortgage = NOT ENOUGH.

Just relying on employee or state benefits = NOT ENOUGH.

MONEY TIP No. 9️⃣

This is a key rule to always follow throughout life.

⭐ Short term money = Savings accounts

⭐ Long term money = Investment accounts (Stocks & Shares ISAs and Pensions)

Savings do not generate enough of a return over the long run and if you know (or it is highly likely) you won’t need the money it should be invested.

The difference in returns over 5, 10, 20+ years historically has been enormous!

MONEY TIP No. 6️⃣

Get out of your own way, when growing your wealth ⚔️

You want as little thought and effort when it comes to saving as possible.

The more you have to do, the less you will save - FACT.

Like all good habits, you want the least friction as possible 😇

The best way I know to do this is automating savings each month.

No thought, no admin, just saving £1,000s without thinking! ✅✅✅

Get your saving standing orders and investing direct debits set up ASAP!!

MONEY TIP No. 5️⃣

Debt, it will kill all your goals and future plans unless you kill it first! 💪🏻

If you have high interest debt you need to make a commitment to pay it off. Interest going to credit cards and lenders is such a massive waste of your hard earned money. 🙅🏻‍♂️

Write down all your different debts, amounts and interest rates and make a plan to pay them off. ✅

Either start with the smallest debt and work up or start with the one with the highest interest. Once one is paid off, divert those payments you were making to pay off the next debt and so on.

The fact is you can’t have a bright financial future if you're being weighed down with expensive debt 😟
