Investment secrets

Recording this on Tax Freedom day which is when we officially start working for ourselves having paid our income tax for the year.

Business works based on income. You wouldn’t set up a business if the sole intention was the hope of selling it at some stage in future for a handsome profit.

Iturr has to be all about the income, that’s how we all pay bills and live – based on income.

Pensions less so for the following reasons.

  1. Charges
  2. Adviser involvement
  3. Changing legislation
  4. Limited investment opportunity

We are now in a golden age of investment and personal choice.

Not putting all your eggs in one basket.
