Having just scanned the rest of this thread. My future plans:
* max out the company pension scheme in terms of contributions.
* continue to max out the UK tax free savings & investment schemes. It's only £10k ish a year but it starts adding up pretty quick.
* Currently almost half my cash savings are not in the UK, as interest rates here now are poor. I am considering an additional offshore savings account in an interesting APAC country. Maybe Singapore, as many rich people in APAC do their banking there.
* property - I expect I will look into forming a Ltd company as a holding company, where any income is heavily re-invested. This will probably be seeded with a small inheritance, or my cash savings if I don't burn through them when I get my business off the ground
* Yes, I will be investing in myself. One month in to 2011, progress is slow, but I will have a spare time business running by the end of the year.
