Boring Money | Choose Better - Save More - Pay Less Opiniones 461

I decided to start taking control of our money and investments in an active way in my late 40’s having felt that the experts I had encountered were generally in it for themselves more than their customers (my lived experience rather than a critique of the industry as a whole). As part of that journey I have followed Holly and Boring Money in an active way from the beginning as she offers exactly what us normal people need - straightforward information delivered in an understandable way for those of us who just want to get on and live our lives while optimising our assets and ensuring future security. The upshot, we retired at 62 on a very healthy annual pot and feel very secure in our long term financial future. I have even got my husband interested and we both enjoy Holly’s humorous newsletter and communication style sums up the week’s shenanigans in the markets very nicely! You can educate yourselves and it’s not as complex as it might appear to learn how to make the most of your money and the Boring Money website packed full of information.

Love Holly at Boring Money!
Her straight talking energetic humorous approach cuts through the noise. And her mission is to get us women investing!
I’ve done the free online course, and cautiously started investing just over 2 years ago now. At the time Holly had all her own pension in Vanguard 100% so I started with that. I looked at her tables of best selling funds and platforms and spread my money over 3 platforms. I used up my ISA allowances, and have just set up my nieces and nephew with LISAs to give them financial goals and expertise. I’ve averaged over 20% annual returns over 2 years and now have the confidence to remove my underperforming SIPP from a well known business and make my own choices, looking at top performing funds on the Boring Money lists.
Thank you Holly, you’re an inspiration!
Ps and being in your 70’s doesn’t mean you have to be cautious as has been the perceived wisdom, go for it! Follow the basics, spread your risk geographically and by sector. And have fun! It’s so interesting delving in to a whole new world!

Boring Money does the heavy lifting on investment research and provides a good overview of what the markeys are doing.

It is good to treat a serious subject ie investing with a light hearted approach, but at the same time provide a good information service.

comments from Holly are always insightful and gives a good commentary of the market

I particularly like your comparison of platforms performance. More information on managed portfolios available on these platforms would be helpful plus clarity on which platforms do not offer managed portfolios.

The approach to money management and investing is refreshingly attractive. It is what is not in it that is its strength : investment techno babble and financial terms understood mainly by accountants and investment managers.

Making sense in a language I understand. Being down to earth, imaginative, humorous and most of all, informative.

Very informative updates but also fun to read. Thanks and keep going please.

An excellent and informative guide for private investors with a very nice touch of humour.

great content, put over in a easy to read format along with humour.

Holly and the team have been extremely helpful in helping the industry bridge the gap with the consumer.

This site offers reliable, easy to digest financial information and guidance. The ratings of SIPP/ISA providers are really helpful to decide who to invest with, and the monthly updates on most popular ETFs, funds and investment trusts is really useful. I also like the tone and personal touch of the analysts.

Great site for investing.

Boring Money has transformed how I think about and invest money. It’s given me information and know how about where to start investing for me and my kids and Holly’s weekly newsletter is handy to keep track with what’s going on (without reading boring financial papers). The world of finance has generally been inaccessible to me but Boring Money has given me a place to start and confidence to begin. It’s was less tricky than I thought!

Boring Money gives information and advice in language that is easy to understand, low on jargon and high on facts. It's my go-to website for savings and investment advice.

Boring Money is anything but that! It’s very insightful and makes money interesting by the sheer fact that the CEO, Holly MacKay, and her team make it so with her weekly blogs and up to the second expertise.
I’m glad I found this site. It’s so inspirational it turned me into an investor! Thanks Holly and Team. 😃

Excellent newsletters. Very human and down to earth - and often interesting and entertaining on what is often a boring subject.

Brilliant advice written in a hilarious entertaining way. Informative, balance and accurate without any noticeable bias. Thank you so much for brightening up an area of life which is usually full of confusing acronyms and confusing data ( i can say that as i’m a data analyst!)

Brilliant informative and enjoyable read with no nonsense advice. What refreshing change to the gobbledegook thats often peddled in finance pages.
