Are you aware there’s a 20% import tax and 12.5% value added tax on sanitary pads??? Sanitary pads are rated as ‘luxury’ items😤 This makes them quite expensive for most girls from less privileged backgrounds.

I have a friend who used to beat his girlfriends. Apparently, two of them experienced his hot temper and physical abus3. He has now been married for three years, and he has never slapped his wife. Not even once. When I asked him if marriage had humbled him, he smiled and said: "My hot temper is still there, but my wife is just a very sweet woman. Whenever I am angry and talking, she does not talk back. She listens quietly when I speak. When I am yelling, she simply gets closer, hugs me, and lays her head on my shoulder. If I get angry and refuse to eat her food, she serves both of us and waits patiently until I am ready to eat before she touches hers." He looked at me and concluded: "Marriage did not humble me. My lovely wife did it with her respect and submission." Above all, love God.

This is the inevitable outcome of our collective lack of discipline. Someone sold him the land. Someone approved and stamped the plans and designs. Someone stood by while construction proceeded unchecked. Everyone involved in this chain must be held to account. It must go beyond the demolition of the structures.

If you want to build that ~£35k education pot over 18 years, you’d normally use a Junior Stocks & Shares ISA. Platforms people actually use: Vanguard, Fidelity, AJ Bell, Hargreaves Lansdown, Moneybox, Nutmeg. Invest monthly into a global equity fund and let compounding do the work. 1. Junior Stocks & Shares ISA (JISA) Tax‑free growth Tax‑free withdrawals Annual allowance: £9,000 Child gets full control at age 18 Can be invested in global index funds (e.g., Vanguard FTSE Global All Cap, S&P 500, etc.) This is the closest UK equivalent to RESP/529 — but with no restrictions on how the money is used. 2. General Investment Account (GIA) Unlimited contributions Taxable (but you can use capital gains allowance, dividend allowance, etc.) Parent retains control beyond age 18 Useful if you want to keep control of the money after 18. Why the £35k projection makes sense The maths behind it: Monthly £70 = £840 per year Over 18 years = £15,120 contributed At 8% annual growth, compounding monthly → ~£35k The return is doing the heavy lifting, more than half the final pot is growth, not contributions. What £35k means in real life UK undergraduate tuition: £9,250 per year Over 3 years: £27,750 Accommodation + living costs: £10k–£15k per year So £35k won’t cover everything, but it can: Pay all tuition fees, OR Pay one year of living costs + tuition, OR Reduce the need for maintenance loans It’s a meaningful buffer, not a full ride. How to make this more powerful 1. Increase contributions with inflation £70 today won’t feel like £70 in 10 years. Even bumping contributions by £5–£10 per year compounds massively. 2. Use a global equity fund Historically, global equities return 7–10% annually over long periods. Examples: Vanguard FTSE Global All Cap HSBC FTSE All‑World Fidelity Index World 3. Start earlier if possible Starting at birth instead of age 4 adds ~£8k–£10k to the final pot at the same contribution level. Alternative UK scenarios If you invest £100/month instead of £70 18 years at 8% → ~£50k If you invest £150/month 18 years at 8% → ~£75k If returns average 6% instead of 8% £70/month → ~£30k £100/month → ~£43k This is why consistency matters more than chasing high returns. The real takeaway The UK doesn’t have RESP/529‑style incentives, but JISAs are extremely powerful because: All growth is tax‑free You can invest in global equities 18 years is a long enough horizon for compounding to work Even modest monthly amounts snowball into something meaningful Disclaimer: Not financial advice. Investments carry risk and returns aren’t guaranteed, even though long term investing has historically been more stable than short term speculation.

My parents invested via a registered education savings plan from when I was 4 til I was 16. The money grew so much that my undergraduate degree, my sister’s undergrad degree & her law school were covered by the funds. And there’s still money left!

I keep saying this….until people start treating marriage like a genuine partnership, situations like this will keep happening. You can’t build a stable home where one person is exhausted and unsupported while the other expects to be catered to. Shared work and shared responsibilities are what prevent resentment and breakdown.

Like I can easily tell why marriages break up here. Yo wife is back from a 12-hour shift and there's nothing for her to eat, you were even waiting for her to come make it. You want your man to be paying most of the bills even though both of you are working because princess. Faultlines will surely emerge.
