As the title implies, this is a fairly straightforward question. I'm looking to invest some money into silver. Can you suggest some good/reliable places to purchase it?

Last year I was struggling to find somewhere to rent and was offered a place with cheap rent with the clause that I had to completely renovate it. The place was completely unliveable at first so I spent a grand I had in savings on fixing the central heating and renovating the lounge and master...

I hadn’t heard of this until last month, so thought I’d pass on how much cheaper it is to buy a disposable travel eSim when you’re abroad. Total gamechanger. I’m with O2 (the only big UK network that post-Brexit still includes free EU data roaming for new customers) but outside the EU their...

Afternoon everybody! Just wanted to share something positive as I don’t want to seem like a gloat to all of my friends considering the COL right now. A few years ago I was £9k in debt, jobless, a gambling addict who ended up with a CIFAS marker for fraud and a CCJ. Something had to change. I...

Hi all, I've noticed my bills are getting a bit crazy, very near £400/mo to Octopus. We are a family of 5, with one working from home in the day. We don't have electric heating and get gas from Octopus aswell. My highest usage in the last 6 months was last month, at 1195kWH. I type in the...

Im sure it was 1% when I signed up to take them out in the first place. Tbh I’ve never even thought about it until the last few years. I just see a couple hundred go out of my pay every month. Got a letter saying I had to log in, because the loan is almost paid and they will overcharge me if I...

Preaching to the choir here, but always good to have the hard numbers. In the past year or so, we had a lot of posts in /r/UKPersonalFinance asking why even risk investments when fixed-rate savings were paying 6%+ per year. Well, it's been six months so I thought why not take a look at the...

I currently pay into my employer pension (police) and I pay into a S&S ISS (Vanguard global all cap) but I don’t trust that by the time I reach state retirement age it will still exist in its current form (if at all). Would setting up a SIPP be worthwhile? That way if I get a state pension it...

EDIT 2 (1/11) - Sincere thanks to everyone who’s taken the time to educate me and provide valuable advice! I’ve decided to stick with my pension and chuck the entire inheritance towards my debts :) ——————————————————————- So I (24F) have found myself with about £15k credit card debt - I’m well...

Hi All, So I had a post up last year where I hit my first 20k in my pension pot and had a goal to hit 30k before I hit 31 (which is in less than 2 weeks) so I could say I hit 30k at 30 (cringe I know). Checked my app this morning to see I finally hit it. I’ve been trying to put in around 7/8k...
