NomdebSo I've always been a financial planning DIYer. I understand American investing & personal finance pretty well. BUT now my UK nephew is asking me questions and I'm starting to look online for good software/apps/resources and at least so far, it would appear the US is far ahead of the UK in terms of tools, etc. Am I missing anything? I'm continuing to look. I've started researching UK taxes, etc. of course. Plus what retirement account types are available, etc. #FinancialPlanning #UKFinance
Velocipedestrienne 🇿🇦@nomdeb My uncle who retired early from a bank has all his money in property. I mean, I'm sure people invest in the LSE, but (a) they have regulations that work, (b) they have high tax brackets for high earners and capital gains, and (c) nobody likes the black suited crooks in the scare square mile.

@nomdeb Have you tried r/UKPersonalFinance? The (US-oriented) r/personalfinance subreddit is full of helpful people.
r/UKPersonalFinance has a wiki, too...
@kbob THANKS. I haven't. I'll go and noodle around over there. :) I am hoping to find some UK version tools like empower, boldin, quicken, turbo tax, etc. that are helpful to a DIYer, plus some good tutorial videos on the basics of investing, planning, taxes, etc. etc. etc. There's a wealth of information in the US (even more than when I started decades ago) but so far - tho I've just started looking - very little of similar heft for UK. I'm savvy about our own USA stuff, but new to UK stuff. :)
