Hi,

People discuss how much cash to keep in emergency fund rather than in investment. I wonder has anyone ever had to use their emergency fund?

Hi, trying to understand if I should accelerate/decelerate my contributions. I am 33 and have 150k in pensions.

What about you?

Does anyone have a side hustle that makes decent money outside normal office hours or ok weekends?

I guess most people would rather relax with family or just have isa’s, btl and other investments.

Always wanted to diversify my office income for dark days!

Wonder if anyone made a jump from London to UAE in front office and could share their (or friends) experience.

Much appreciated!

Hi, I am curious if anyone has moved or heard of anyone moving in sales and trading to UAE? The financial benefit is obvious but what are the hidden costs? How is the work life balance, holiday packages, job security?

Hi,

Was wondering if I am missing something, there seem to be a lot of preference for ii, iweb, aj bell, interactive brokers for ISA, but seems like all of them have higher fees than trading212?

I’m seriously thinking about getting a BMW 230i and wanted to hear from those of you who’ve owned or driven one. I’ve got a few questions and would love your honest thoughts:

•	How did you buy yours? Dealer or private seller? Any tips on the process?
•	What should I keep an eye out for when buying? Any common issues or things to avoid?
•	What extras or options do you have on yours? Are they actually worth it?
•	Has it been reliable for you? Any big problems or just smooth sailing?
•	Is it fun and engaging to drive? How does it feel on the motorway for longer trips?
•	Do you stick with BMW for servicing, or do you go to independent shops?
•	Would you recommend taking it to a garage be

Planning to buy a 5year old car, want to save on insurance by starting in 20 days, but not sure how to pull this off operationally.

Do drive back I need insurance, also in the first 20 days I’d like to drive in plus check if everything is ok with it…

How would you do it?

I see videos of undercover police with blue lights pulling over other members of the road. Are they searching for drugs? Looking for reckless driving? What are they doing?

Hi,

I am looking for an impossible car that ticks all the boxes. My main roads are 30% London and 70% motorways and A roads.

• Reliable! Preferably German or Japanese
• Must have 4 seats
• Petrol
• High mpg at motorway speeds, 40+?
• Must handle UK's awful roads well - dealing with potholes and rough surfaces
• Quiet cabin for those long drives
• Driver assists: Adaptive cruise control, lane departure
• Waze compatibility
• Also be fun to drive! (Conflicting with all the above!)
• Cheap insurance and normal tax band

Ideally 2017+

Thanks in advance!

Hey hikers! 👋

I'm looking for recommendations for stores that sell both hiking gear and good trail food/snacks near San Jose. Trying to get equipped for upcoming hikes and would love to knock out all my shopping in one stop if possible.

Looking to pick up:

• Proper hiking shoes/boots
• Rain gear
• Towels
• Water bottles/hydration gear
• Trail snacks and food supplies
• etc

Any suggestions for shops that have a good selection of both gear and trail food?
