Money habits

Eight rules that outlast any headline.

Markets change by the minute; these don’t. Plain rules of thumb for everyday savers — general information, not personal advice.

  1. 01

    Pay yourself first

    Move savings out the day your salary arrives. Money that never sits in your current account is money you don’t spend.

  2. 02

    Let 72 do the maths

    Divide 72 by an annual return to estimate the doubling time. At 6% a year, that’s roughly twelve years.

  3. 03

    Check the costs before the returns

    Fees are the one number you know in advance. Half a percent a year compounds into a real slice of the final pot.

  4. 04

    Keep a cash cushion

    A few months of spending set aside means a surprise bill never forces you to sell investments in a slump.

  5. 05

    Own the haystack

    Rather than hunting for the one winning stock, a broad fund holds hundreds — winners included.

  6. 06

    Kill expensive debt early

    Paying down a card charging 20%+ is a risk-free return that few investments come close to matching.

  7. 07

    Time in, not timing

    Some of the market’s best days land right next to its worst. Jumping out usually means missing the rebound.

  8. 08

    Rebalance on a schedule

    Pick a date once a year, trim what ran ahead and top up what fell behind — no forecasts required.
