i opened my first stocks & shares isa the week after finishing the course. i'd been putting it off for two years because it seemed complicated. it's not.
the simulator is addictive. i've been competing with my flatmates for the top return each week, and we've all accidentally learned a ton about portfolio diversification.
i came in knowing nothing. now i actually understand what my mum is talking about when she mentions her pension. the compound interest calculator broke my brain in the best way.
