Hi,
I want to get advice on how much I should be putting into my pension, and how much to be putting elsewhere.
My monthly pay is £1700. 5% of that automatically goes into my pension. My employer then matches what I put in, up to 5%. So I am left with ~£1600 to take home, and £170 goes into my pension.
My monthly expenses are around £200 (I am not paying rent currently and my travel expenses get covered by my work).
This leaves £1500. Out of those, I currently place £200 in a Help-To-Buy ISA.
This leaves £1300 unattended.
What do I do with this money? Should I put more into my pension -- how much? I want to start investing some of it, perhaps in an index tracker (but I still need to do a lot of research).
Thanks in advance.
