Im behind on any financial security
I am 30 years old and have little to no financial security or investments to help me in the future.
From 19-29 I was in a LTR with a financially controlling partner- I worked full time, but had no savings and at the time I didn't put anything into retirement, we bought a house together and then a year after, it all fell apart, I was kicked to the curb, and now have nothing of worth from those 10 years together apart from 6k from being removed from the mortgage (even that was fighting tooth and nail for it).
I have actively started saving £12 a week into a pension pot, separate from the percentage take from my payslip for my work pension, the money from the house has gone into a savings account at 2.5%-
But.. i really have NO idea where to go from here, im working full time again now, so want to build more savings from here, but how to I improve elsewhere? Where do I start to research?
MSE seems very information heavy but I don't understand even the basics yet for it to be helpful.
Please help advise in any way you can guys
