How Can I Make the Most Out of My Money in My 20s? Saving vs Investing, Side Hustles and Investing In Yourself with Bola Sol

Welcome to Quarter Life Questions with me, Grace McIntosh — the podcast where we tackle the real, sometimes messy questions that come with being in your twenties. 

This week’s episode is all about money — specifically, how to start investing in your 20s so you can be better off in your 30s (and beyond).

There’s a lot of info out there, and half of it sounds like you need a finance degree or a spare £10k to get started. But here we break it all down and go back to basics — no jargon, no dodgy quick-win schemes, just practical advice you can actually use.

✨ In this episode, we cover:

• Why your 20s are the best time to start investing
• Common myths and misconceptions that hold people back
• How much you really need to get started (spoiler: not much)
• Are side hustles the perfect investment? 
• The importance of self investment - what does this look like and where to start 
•
