    Concept of valuing your time and nuances

    @marriedwoman I think this concept works really well for people in medical professions. They can drop in and do locum or agency work on top of their day job, very easily. Demand is high and pay is often high. My friend can go and do £600 pre-tax for a day of work as a locum, condensed into a...

    Why the timing of tax relief doesn’t matter, and why that’s an oversimplification (especially for pensions)

    @neenah I didn’t say pensions were unique to this, but a pension is unique in that it is tied up for many years (depending on your age) so planning for its use is more difficult due to the longer timeline. If rules on ISAs changed tomorrow I could draw it all out. If the same happened to...

    Anyone care to speculate on the mortgage situation next summer? I'm losing my mind with worry

    30 hours free childcare and top-up fees

    @%ED%8F%B4%EB%9D%BC%EA%B9%80 30 hours x 40 weeks = 1,200 1,200 ÷ 51 weeks (or 52 if open over Christmas week) is about 23.5 hours when spread out. Some providers like Busy Bees will cap the daily amount of hours that can be consumed on funding (i.e. 7.3 hours), and with a fixed 10 hour day...
