412 top money tips, pay off house or invest, pet insurance, how much to invest + Tesla shares (with guest host Joe Saul-Sehy, USA)

Joe Saul-Sehy is the creator and co-host of the Stacking Benjamins and Money With Friends podcasts, and a friend of Glen's! Joe was a financial planner for 16 years before turning his hand to teaching his listeners about personal finance. In this episode he helps answer your questions, including:

👉🏽Q1: Currently I’m a student attempting to save for a house. Currently my partner and I nearly have 10% of our deposit saved. Although this is our goal all I want is a golden retriever. When is the best time to buy a dog and what do you need to have to be financially ready for one? E.g. how much do you need to have in a savings account for one? Is pet insurance worth it?

👉🏻Q2: Is there a hard and fast role for knowing what percentage of my net worth should be in ETFs, cash and other asset classes e.g. property?

👉Q3: What is the best way to set up for future wealth when by nature you're a person who can't settle in one place? I've just turned 34, want to grow my wealth/invest in something. The only catch is I'm single and the idea of 'settling down' in one place makes me feel claustrophobic. I'm also not waiting around for a man to appear and either way, a man is not a plan!
