I agree with you. I started out with investing on my own, but I lost a lot of money. I was able to pull out about $200k after the 2020 crash I invested the money using an analyst, and in seven months, I raked in almost $673,000

@@DamienTalksMoney I'm glad I took your encouragement and the "free share" and signed up with Trading 212. No problems there HOWEVER... The free share appears on my account but the price shows as part of my ISA allowance. I understand why, but given the absolute limit of £20K, accidentally going over the allowance is possible and could cause problems. Perhaps flag this issue? Assuming I have not misunderstood things.

The British public can’t be blamed for not investing, because as you mentioned Damien, there’s been zero financial education from the Education system. It’s not seen as for us ordinary people. Thankfully we have you and a few others on YT to do that. Thanks for your insight and hard work you do. 🙌🏻👌🏻

Thank you so much for your videos and for sharing your knowledge in such an accessible way. I've only recently begun watching you and a couple of other (British) YTs on the subject of personal finances & investing but I've learned so much. And like soooo many Brits, I was actually a bit scared when it came to moving some of my 'squirrelled away' money from what I thought were 'safe' accounts into a T212 ISA. But am I ever glad I have! Of course like you say, things will go up and down over time so no-one's getting rich overnight. But £700 invested has already grown more in a few weeks than £2,000 in a bank cash ISA has in a year! So c'mon Brits, watch Damien's vids & get with the program! I'm rubbish at puns but I did enjoy the T-shirts 😆

Thank you for ACTUALLY telling me how to invest. I’m 19 years old and literally need investing and finances spoon feeding until I become more comfortable

Enjoyed this video so much! The T shirts were the icing on the cake 👌

Very funny and very helpful. This is exactly what I needed. Thank you very much x

Great video, this answered a lot of questions I've always had about investing and in particular what trading platforms do. Bit of a cash crunch for me this month but I know where all my spare £ in June is going.

Thank you for detailing that long-term means at least a decade. I pulled a lot of my money out of my stocks and shares ISA in 2022/23 because it was a very volatile year. My returns were in the negative month on month, I was depositing £500 pcm. I did end up needing the money I drew down (Masters degree), but I kept a grand in there. This video has given me the confidence to increase my monthly deposits from the minimum, to at least £100. I can stomach that and the possible volatility at that amount. I'm glad I stayed in the game in 2024, and now I'm aware that ten years plus is what I need to keep in mind.

Nice one Damien. I'm giving invest engine a go this year with regular deposits 🎉

Another great video Damien, thank you. You show how easy it can be to get into investing, when it is normally sold as a dark art to keep the everyday person out and keep it for the elite.

They don’t teach in schools because if people started to learn the power of investing early. They could probably retire in their 50s. That would be bad for employers. The system is designed to keep society working into old age.

just wanted to say i have recently come across this channel after looking into saving and investing my self, while i have done for a few years i have only started taking it more seriously recently. This channel is by far my favourite (ignoring the uk bias i have) but also because damien makes stuff actually make sense. i feel like sometimes when doing my own research i'm just ramming my head into a brick wall trying to learn all these new terms etc. But this channel does a good job of answering questions while clearing up any confusing terminology. I also agree the education around finance in this country is terrible.

Hi Damien, I always struggle to get my head around why should I invest into anything else other than my pension. Particularly when paying 40% tax and having the ability to use salary sacrifice and select a fund via my provider. Keen to know your thoughts around this if possible? Thanks for the content once again👍

This was an amazingly helpful video. Thank you Damien for your efforts. I'm the typical guy you're describing...I have the money in savings but dont know what to do with it.

Nice video, nicer t shirts. I think I'm the worst of all sinners, i had cash sitting in my Trading 212 ISA no invested in anything at all. This was a nice prompt to make it do something, thanks !

This is the first such video I've watched. I'm approaching 50, have a good local authority pension lined up and owe not much on my mortgage (could settle it with a credit card). My wife deals with all finances and i just get pocket money. Have decided that rather than buy toys and video games, I'm going to start sticking a few ££ here and there and invest it. Going to follow your advice and start today. Thanks for the clear video from someone who, financially at least, doesn't know their arse from their elbow.

it's almost like they don't want to educate us from the get go, big up for your content Damien!

I’ve just started investing at the grand old age of 37, coming from a working class family, they were very much in favour of ‘squirrelling’ money away for a rainy day so I’ve gone on my own journey to educate myself about investing, thanks for providing such great information. Although, don’t come for Keanu, national treasure right there! 🤣

Another well produced video Damien. Thank you. Here is my thought of the day for you: An economist, an accountant and a lawyer decided to gamble…. And that’s how stock markets came into existence!

Why invest in ETFs rather than tracker funds (such as L&G US index)?

I recently started my T212 journey by sticking £5k in an ISA account. However, there was one big question for me, is it safe to use one of the pre-made pies? I don’t mean the other users pies, I’m referring to the ready made ones T212 provides. I opted for one of them because I don’t have the knowledge to hand pick my own. Was this stupid?

Love the T-shirt changes

Hey Damien, I am looking to buy my first home using the governments '30% off first time houses scheme if you buy locally'. A couple questions: is this a good scheme? What do you think the interest rate would be by January 2025? I know the second question is very difficult to predict but any insight would be super appreciated! All the best and love your videos!

I'm confused about the "free share worth up to £100", how do I claim/use it? It says I already claimed it when I typed in your code so guess I got it on sign up but I only have the option to purchase using my deposited money.

Awesome! 🔥

When I opened a Trading 2-1-2 account, I was asked to complete a Form W-8BEN E. Is this part of the process?

If I’ve used the ISA allowance for the year, is it better to wait for next tax year before starting investing?

Great video as always! The ‘This T-Shirt ISA Joke’ was my personal favourite! Buy the dip, load up your SIPP!

Been trying to save as much as i can in my 212isa for over a year now, not much in it but as im on Universal Credit as an income i cant save all that much. Any saving's over £6000 gets you a reduction and over i think £15k your claim is closed. This could have something to do with why people dont save or invest also.

A lot of this still goes back to financial education needed for everyone/should be taught in school from 1st year/7th grade (ish?) onwards. Knowing how pensions work, not being scared of investing etc. are more important than squaring up with a hippopotamus on the other side of the quadrangle...

Great video Damo, I think anyone watching this should listen to your podcast with Tom Morgan as I think it will dovetail nicely with this video. Particularly where you both spoke about how most people just need a global index fund and then might need a financial planner in the future when they near retirement.

You can still open a stocks and shares ISA. The important thing is that you can add £20k maximum in a tax year across these. for example you could put 15k into a stocks and shares ISA and 5k into cash ISA. As long as you don’t add more than 20k in a tax year then you are fine.
