For many years, high inflation has been treated like a historical relic from the 70s and 80s that no one was worried about anymore. A quick glimpse at this chart shows the relative stability we’ve enjoyed for the best part of three decades. In fact, we’ve probably enjoyed the longest run of sustained low inflation since the period between the defeat of Napoleon in 1815 and the start of World War I. Annual inflation rates from 1960 to 2020.

It might sound a strange source for an illustrative quote, but a line from Avengers: Endgame set me thinking recently. Amid all the action and turmoil, as two sides battled for – as far as I could tell – control of the universe, one of the lead characters came out with the line: “No amount of money ever bought a second of time”. Time is our most valuable commodity and, unlike money, it’s finite. We can’t create more of it so we should be looking to make the most of the time we do have.

Have you ever wondered why some shops are laid out in the way they are? For example, think of your local garden centre. All the things you “want” will be near the entrance – barbeques, and garden chairs, together with cute stuff like ornamental garden gnomes. That’s the stuff to catch your eye and open your wallet. The things you actually “need” will be at the back. Lawnmowers and hedge trimmers – boring, utilitarian items that aren’t particularly exciting or eye-catching, but you can’t get by without them. When it comes to financial planning, human nature suggests you’ll focus on your “wants”. But sometimes the less exciting things are necessary, so read on to find out how working with a...

We are constantly bombarded with investment advice. You only have to read the financial pages to see a whole series of investment information. The consumer “money” sections are always full of suggestions as to how you should invest your money. So, for balance, I thought I’d turn that on its head and put a list together for you of investment “don’ts”. Because, as with many activities, sometimes what you don’t do can be as equally important as what you do. Here are 10 big don’ts when it comes to managing your investments. 1.
