Hi Nick. Thanks to you and this video in particular I have rented out my car park space and earn £150 pm. Got rid of my car nearly two years ago, it hadn’t occurred to me that a fairly lucrative side hustle was staring me in the face! Also opened a SIPP with Vanguard in addition to my workplace pension and invest regularly - in my early 50’s so chose this route rather than an ISA. Look forward to your next update. Your videos really motivate me to organise & structure my finances. All the best

[@nickjm4108]

Cheers Rob - really appreciate it

@@twinflamegirl9901 I personally don’t use a SIPP as my employer won’t match theirs benefits outside of their scheme

[@robgregory9109]

@@twinflamegirl9901 Hi. Everyone’s situation is different of course. I’ve learnt a fair bit from KZbinr’s like Nick. At first I considered doing an ISA, but given my current age decided to opt for a SIPP instead - this is in addition to my work place pension which my employer contributes 10%, and I also contribute 10%. I think it’s definitely worth it, make sure you do your research into which company best suits your needs, look at their charges etc, and which index funds or ETF’s you’d like to invest in. Also be careful that you don’t exceed the 40k pension allowance. If you’re still in your 40’s it may be worth considering an ISA. I’m not at all a financial expert, this is just my humble opinion. Good luck!

[@liambuckingham3337]

The impact matched betting had on my savings/investments is crazy. Unbelievably I actually made more money from that than my full time job in 2018. Much like you it's a far more difficult task now, but even with all the gubbed and heavily restricted accounts I manage to find enough stuff to make it worth while. Not done any of the other side hustles, but I should definitely take a look at bank scalping. Roamler also sounds interesting, but probably not that viable with no big supermarkets particularly near me.

[@nickjm4108]

RE Roamler - it’s not just supermarkets. It’s pubs, corner shops etc. I know a lot of people who are out in a more rural area and do extremely well. Mainly because theirs no competition for tasks so they are generally high paid

[@TheRicksta87]

Another great video Nick! I'm going to start my matched betting journey again as I stopped last year. For me it's the best 'side hustle' you just need to have a big bank roll if you want to place a lot of bets per day or through the week.

[@KillTheAlarm69]

The problem with MB is that it's still work. You spend a lot of time to learn/understand how this works. Even some of the welcome offers require multiple steps, and if you screw up once, you may slash or completely miss out on a profit. You also need to plan on when to make bets, to optimise for either faster or bigger profits (can't have both I'm afraid). In other words, it's pure work, which, depending how well you do this, may earn you more or less than a minimum wage. If you're using your own spare time, kind of not worth it. Might be great if you use office time though.

Bank switching is all very well, but you can't do it every year. Once you've switched a bank for an incentive once, they often won't let you do it again for several years or more. I exhausted all the bank switches I could get a couple of years ago and now I'm not eligible for new ones (especially since so many banks have now merged).

No pendning invites at the moment. Hmm - theres a few areas where Roamler lets you sign up directly but the majority you need a referal

[@ozymemedias7359]

Curious about how tasks in Roamler work, is there a system that prioritises individuals based on location or a ranking determined by how many tasks you've done already, or is it just a free for all? What happens if several individuals complete the same task? Does it pay them all or could someone waste their effort and not get paid? What is the typical payout? It seems pretty low so something you should try very passively.

[@nickjm4108]

You have to reserve tasks before you do them - stopping multiple people doing the same task. Other than that, it's a FFA. It's worth pointing out that every time you do a task, you gain points, the more points you have, the higher your level, the higher your level, the more tasks you can reserve at once

This is incredibly irresponsible and shocking advice. Bank scalping will hugely impact your credit rating hence why they offer incentives for you to switch. When borrowing money one of the key factors is average account age. So let's say you now want to buy car, get a personal loan or a mortgage. Your interest rates are going to be significantly higher and some lenders may refuse you as a consequence of you trying to make insignificant amounts of money switching banks.

[@nickjm4108]

I know several dozen people who have done bank scalping for years and have never had a credit issue so not sure what your issue is 🤷‍♂️ are you speaking from experience?

[@oliverlm7630]

@@nickjm4108 changing banks accounts regularly directly has a negative impact on your credit rating. Not mentioning this whilst giving financial advice is very irresponsible. The fact you are unaware of this and are now arguing against it only highlights your inadequacy to be giving financial advice. I respect that your KZbin is a side hustle but giving advice that is detrimental to someone's credit file for the sole purpose of content for your own gain is highly immoral. I suspect it's unintentional. When assessing your eligibility for credit there are multiple factors deemed as risks. Bank scalping will cause your average account age to be very low which is considered a moderate risk. It also impacts your overall score. I didn't say you will flat out not get credit but it can certainly result in fewer options and less favourable interest rates. I'd have no issue with you mentioning it as a side hustle if you mentioned the risks. Not everyone watching your videos will understand the risks and could suffer as a result of your advice. Particularly if they don't have the best credit initially. Not personal experience but professional knowledge.
