Myth: 2% inflation is harmless. Reality: the Rule of 72 says prices double in 36 years at 2%. Cash earning 0% halves in real spending power over the same stretch. Money sat at 0% is losing you spending power every single year it sits there. #Inflation #Cash #UKPersonalFinance

A 20% yield on cost feels like investing genius. The dividend doesn't care what you paid in 2008. The metric most income investors brag about has a flattering lie buried inside it. #Dividends #IncomeInvesting #Metrics #UKPersonalFinance

Your tax-free dividend allowance has been cut by 90% in a few years, and almost no one noticed. It was £5,000 in 2017/18. It's £500 now. If you hold income shares outside an ISA, far more of the payout is now taxed. The shelter matters more every year. #Dividends #Tax #UKPersonalFinance

If you want to retire early you might be obsessed with paying no tax and throw all your money into a pension. Please remember that you can't access the pension until you're 57!! You need the ISA to get you from, say, early retirement at 50 to pension access at 57. Yes, even if you have to pay some tax! #PersonalFinance #FIRE #FireUK #Investing #IndexInvesting #FinancialIndependence #UKFinance

@mattblaze@federate.social Honestly, many of us know deep down that one day humanoid robots will come for us all. The problem is that, even knowing that, it is something like being 21st century Amish to decide not to use it
