I'm getting married within the next 6 months, and am trying to get things sorted. I hope to leave my full time employment within the next 18 months and go full time with my own business. (Only if the work is there of course)
Should I be investing my savings into something long term or pay a lump off my mortgage?
Should I pay into my pension fund
Thanks,
Milan
