I realised I could buy shares via salary sacrifice at work, this sounds good I thought. Looked into it and I can't buy many, it's not just free money. I have put myself down for the maximum of £138 per month. If that really comes out of gross pay though it will be great. I can sell them any time but f I hold on to them for five years I pay no tax on them. This time next year Rodney! Well, in five years. That will be £8,280 of shares. Hope they don't fall in price. But still the money being taken at source will mean I don't notice it as much.
