A Pension is a Wealth Building Hack. Millions ignore the best investment around because it’s “boring” Here’s how it earns 100% returns (and retires so many) 🧵

@Man_On_Sports @KAMMYwithaK @PaddyArsenal First of all it’s Yaya Then the point was obvious that he was the best in that role so yes obviously he’s better than merino

@KAMMYwithaK @PaddyArsenal This might be the worst of these takes I've seen. Merino has no skillset close to kolo, let alone his brother

One of the most unique players ever. What do you mean you won a Champions League final playing at centre back and a Premier League title scoring 20 goals from midfield

@MartinSLewis @itvMLshow This is absolutely crucial and definitely something someone with your knowledge and platform should be engaging in. All reasonable caveats will I am sure be given. Great to see

For the 1st time ever in its 13yr history, tonight 8pm @itvMLshow is a beginners guide to investing. Who should invest, how much, where & how? I'm a touch nervous as its outside my usual territory, but I've a panel to answer Qs and think its a crucial topic. Got questions you want to suggest send them to the team at martinlewis@itv.com

🚨 HE’S DONE IT! 🚨 No doubt before. No doubt now. A true great of the game 🙌

@makingmsimple Never seen anything like it

This UK budget has been an absolute circus for weeks and weeks. Rumours. Uncertainty. And this tops it off 😂

@makingmsimple Not entirely accurate because I did an isa transfer which isn’t being calculated accurately. But: 1st April +11.5% Today: + 36.7%

My investment portfolio was down £12,959 at the start of April 2025 🔴 Fast forward to November 2025 and it’s now up £17,418 for the year 🟢 A swing of £30,000 in 7 months… By simply staying investing and doing nothing. Ignore the noise and stay invested - always.

@AdamCC92 @earnlearninvest Why would they be closed? Next market holiday is thanksgiving

@earnlearninvest Aren’t Americans markets closed on Monday?

@earnlearninvest People will mock this till they see you returns like this and suddenly ask “How??” It all starts small x.com/earnlearninves…

2 dividend payments today both instantly reinvested. $GOOG £1.23 $O £1.58

@BeeMoneySavvy Current mortgage is £983 🤮 On the SVR about to exchange to sell 🤞🏽

My mortgage, energy and water bill have left the bank account this morning. 🏡 Mortgage £525.25 ⚡️ Energy £75 💧 Water £15 How do your bills compare?

@Cazbat1978 @padwrondularde @MartinSLewis Investing is not “risky”. Completely outdated view. On average it beats any other way of growing your money and if you “lost it all” investing in a sensible way, the world has collapsed. Mortgage v Investing comes down to your interest rate as to whether it is worth it

@padwrondularde @MartinSLewis Paying off your mortgage will save you possibly thousands of £'s in interest over the term of your mortgage. Keeping as little as £200 on it can keep your deeds with the bank in safety and may not require any monthly payments. Investing is risky you may loose it all. My POV.

ASK ME ANYTHING (within reason)! On Wed its my last podcast before summer, and I'm leaving it to u to decide what's discussed! What burning money Qs do u have? What confuses you that u want explaining? What do u want to save cash on. Post Qs by reply & my producer'll compile :)

My Striker

@MartinSLewis INSTRUCTION. PS5 that we use for TV as well as games, noisy fan and shutting off. Only 5 years old. YouTube up, specialized screwdriver ordered, cleaned and hoovered fan and rear vent. Technically invalidates the warranty. Now working perfectly.

TELL US: Instruction v Destruction! When've u not followed official product instructions and come a cropper or come out smiling? Eg - Washed something dry clean only (as its too costly) - Took mobile apart to fix Pls post ur tales by reply starting with INSTRUCTION (if good result) or DESTRUCTION (bad) and the producers will pick some to read out on my pod. And do tell us exactly what happened & like your faves too

@BeeMoneySavvy I’m an outlier in this. I don’t do the whole “pay yourself first thing” I pay off my credit card spending for the month (all day to day spending) purely for satisfaction. Then add to bills pot, which is early the most critical. Then I save, but aim ahead of time for 30%

It’s payday for me today 💪 What’s the first thing you do on payday?

@BeeMoneySavvy Definitely aligned but the win level changes priorities. At that level priority would be buying a house outright

My partner & I enter a competition to win £500,000 every week & we both know what each other would do with the money. Do you know your partner’s financial priorities?

@ganwani @elpredestinato1 They also have a limit on sim hours yes

@elpredestinato1 Limitations on being in the simulator? Since when?

Michael Schumacher spent hours upon hours everyday testing and refining the car on the Fiorano test track in Maranello. If either of the current Ferrari drivers are interested in racing and F1 they should be on the track or in the simulator relentlessly.

@TrueNerth @MartinSLewis What on earth would make you think it would be “designed to manipulate them”

@WealthLesson @MartinSLewis And how do you think people will react when they realise that the 'person' they have an ongoing relationship with is a machine designed to manipulate them?

Today's Poll: Do you feel your job role is likely under threat due to AI within the next five years? (And if you vote yes, do reply with what you do and why you think there's a risk)

@TrueNerth @MartinSLewis I think you’re massively underestimating the improvement curve and how good it currently is. People hate speaking to terrible machines, which don’t speak naturally and respond to your inputs. Good AI absolutely does that.

@WealthLesson @MartinSLewis Automated reminders are not tearing a tradesman a new arsehole to get his arse in gear. People HATE speaking with machines, particularly when they're angry. The question was regarding AI in the next 5 years. AI has massive promise, but it will not replace everyone in 5 years.

@TrueNerth @MartinSLewis -Yes it would be automated reminders etc. -Yes AI has good tone now - Probably, but that’s a manual service which is probably safe for a while…hence I didn’t use it as an example

@WealthLesson @MartinSLewis Can the AI yell at the plumber for not turning up on time? Can AI calm down angry clients? More to the point, can the AI do plumbing???

Bob - Values home £20k above market: “they redecorated (painted) last year” - “Spends about £5k/m”(it’s 8k) - Thinks their meme coin will blow Dan - Uses average sale price despite the extension - Spends exactly £5,650/m - Uses a 7% expected return Who’s gonna get lucky?

@Glen_NQDC @GuyTalksFinance I think it’s now approaching a 20 year old asset. I’m not saying it’s a reliable as Gold….but I think the troupe of “it’s going to Zero, it’s so unstable” etc etc. are tired now. The transition needs to be made from “it’s Risky” to “you need to have stomach for volatility”

@WealthLesson @GuyTalksFinance Mainstream asset classes have decades or 100s of yrs of history Gold advocates can point to decades plus of official data … & thousands of yrs of actual existence Re Bitcoin “has succeeded over the years” implies that you see that as enough history?

Here’s my take on Bitcoin: I would rather own some and be wrong than take the risk of missing out on huge potential profits. I’m not a huge believer, but unless there’s a huge liquidity event I think there’s a better chance of it going to $1 million dollars instead of $0. The risk/reward for a small portfolio allocation is worth it to me.
