@SelfMadeMastery People also tend to massively over value their car rather than being realistic. Those grasping to increase their net worth might include it but only for vanity or to try to reach a certain figure.

If you own a $50,000 car and owe $0 on that car, that should be counted toward your net worth. Agree or disagree?

@HeroDividend That’s not living. Just as bad as having a job and thinking about work on a Saturday night

@marben100 @MartinSLewis exactly, and a £240 monthly contribution becomes £300 with tax relief added by the govt so it can be free money adding two the compounding

@jameseades @MartinSLewis Important to explain the power of compounding. £1,000 invested at age 5 becomes over £18,000 in real terms 60 years later, if earning 5% after inflation. That's achievable if invested in a global index tracker.

Do you have questions on children's savings (how to do it or best deals) or switching bank accounts? I'm covering both in my podcast tomorrow. So post questions here and the producers will collate them to read out / cover in the pod.

Another clown show #f1 race thanks to unsafe delays deploying the safety car and handing out inconsistent penalties.

I know I go on about how shit black wheels are, but how anyone can say that the bottom one looks better than the top is completely beyond me. They don’t look shit, because you can’t fucking see them. They’re not there. It’s like saying “hey man do you like my car” when it’s sitting at Kwik Fit with no wheels on. The fact that the black wheel trend seems to be dying slowly is absolutely wonderful.

@DanielPriestley My take is that social media has taught people that work/life balance is possible from an early age. Those of us who have done their 20-25yrs to achieve it know that's not correct. Look at any successful person and they worked HARD for their formative years before having balance

I spoke with a friend who has a creative agency specialising in corporate events. He was hiring for a creative director role and one of the final candidates was a 27 year old male who seemed perfect. The interview was going great and then he asked "do you have questions for us?" to which the candidate gave a big speech about the importance of his work life balance. He has projects and interests outside of work and doesn't want to be doing overtime. Given the nature of running events - they often run overtime - the candidate was immediately removed from the hiring process. From the leading candidate to not having a chance in a few sentences. It kind of blows me away that a 27yo male with no kids would take this approach. At 27 all I wanted to do was work and get ahead. I had a clear understanding that I had a window before starting a family to work my ass of and establish myself and if I failed to do that, I'd pay dearly for decades. Is no one explaining the reality of life to these guys? This desire for work/life balance in his 20s is going to be the thing that makes his 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s a lot harder. Am I being too harsh? Is it reasonable for a 27yo to demand work/life balance from a creative agency that runs events? Is this next crop detached from reality?

@islandecho There’s absolutely nothing the island can do about this while ferry prices are so high and are unaffordable in peak holiday season

@DanielPriestley If people didn't waste their time on highly leveraged cheap property and investing tiny sums in dividend stocks, what would there be left for social media wannabe business influencers to push down people's throats :)

I can't count how many times I've had people tell me that their goal is to create 'passive income'. As the name suggests, it's the idea you can earn income you don't have to work for. In my experience, it's also the most damaging wealth creation idea there is. It sucks the life out of people and causes them to waste their time, money, and energy on stuff that doesn't produce results. I see this as the modern-day pot of gold at the end of the rainbow - it's just as mythical.

@MINIUK this is also after being told that it’s best not to drive the car when there are puddles because the crash protection radar can’t cope with puddles. And the screen doesn’t work properly when it’s cold. Both of which are helpful for the Uk

@MINIUK one of your dealers just told me our new Cooper SE is “bound to be buggy, it’s a new model” and that things like satnav and usb music won’t work. “Wait for a software update, at least it drives ok”. Is that the new level of expectation for a £40k car from Mini?
