Should I invest in my retirement before I get married (in <yr)?

Question

If I set up a ISA/private or public pension, will the hastle of joining my account with my partner in the future be a hassle? OR should I just hold out for now - perhaps put 10%/mo in my bank savings account and wait till our finances are joined? Any personal experience would be well appreciated.

Answer 1

how old are you? I think you should invest in your/buying house if your still quite young.

Answer 2

Personally I would get on housing ladder first, but you can always start pension for even 10-20 pound a month. I think they are called stakeholder persion and you can put upto 3600 in a year mine is with virgin and seems really good.

Hi there, judging by your question, your knowledge of investing isn&#039;t that great, no offense.  My advice at this point would be to just take some time a learn a little bit about the subject.  

There&#039;s no hurry, it&#039;s better to wait 2 years and then safely invest with confidenceand good return  than it is to jump in and lose it all.  Right now I would suggest saving at least 10% of your pre-tax income in a savings account, and begin a course of serious research.  This is likely your most successful strategy at this point.

I have a website about this that might help you find a starting point?

Good luck with this.

I think it is better for you to start a personal saving account and try to saving as much as you can each month. Then later on jointly take a mortgage with your partner and buy a house for your home. Investing in a house this way is an investment for your retirement.
