Getting into investing at 18, what’s next?

Getting into investing at 18, what’s next?

I’ve recently left sixth form so now I’m working full time taking home around £1900 a month. Current investment plan is to whack everything into VWRP (Amazon shares were a free bonus for signing up) and I’ve got a savings account with a bit of emergency cash but I have no expenses except for my car, gym and girlfriend and I’m living with my parents so I don’t really have a need for a large emergency fund. I’ve also opened up a LISA just to have one in case the new scheme turns out to be worse. My question is, is there anything else I should be doing at this stage? Perhaps individual stocks? I’m looking to invest long term (20+ years) and grow as much as possible in that time.

Just completed CPC(W), happy to answer any questions.

Overall a very good experience, good bunch of lads in my class and the staff were sound as well

My biggest tip would be DO NOT YAWN. If you get caught yawning, especially during the PT session you will get an absolute belter of a bollocking. Even looking around when you’re meant to be standing at attention can piss off the staff and make it harder on your class
