Stocks ISA

Stocks ISA

Hello everyone,

I opened my first Stocks & Shares ISA today (go me), and I’m slowly educating myself to become more financially literate.

I’m 24 and have been fortunate enough to save a decent amount of money. Rather than letting it sit in a savings account, I’d like to start investing and build wealth for the long term.

I was hoping to get some guidance on which ETFs would be most suitable for someone in my position.
After debating between the S&P 500 and the FTSE 100, and doing a bit more research, I think I’m most comfortable investing in a global all-world fund.

However, I also see a lot of people recommending allocations to gold, Nasdaq, clean energy, emerging markets, and developed markets. It’s quite easy to feel overwhelmed by all the different options, so I’d really appreciate any advice or recommendations.

My plan is to invest around £200 per month, and I’m also likely to invest an initial lump sum of £1,000–£2,000 fairly soon.

Does this sound like a sensible approach? Are there any ETFs or strategies you’d recommend for someone just starting out?

The Disney stock was free haha so do ignore that.

Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone,

So i passed my test a couple of weeks ago and now I’m going to pick up a car.

I’ll be driving with my boyfriend in the car who has done the drive to where we are picking up the car (which is about two hours) dozens upon dozens of times.

But i’m nervous! I would consider myself a confident driver (and so would my instructor) but now I am a little nervous, it will be my first time on the motorway
