Ground rules

Eight habits worth more than a hot tip.

The news changes daily. These don’t. Rules of thumb for everyday savers — general guidance, not personal advice.

  1. 01

    Save on payday, not month-end

    Schedule the transfer for the morning your salary lands. What you never see, you rarely miss.

  2. 02

    Use the rule of 72

    Divide 72 by your yearly return to see how long money takes to double: about nine years at 8%.

  3. 03

    Read the fee line first

    A 1% annual charge looks small, but over thirty years it can quietly eat a quarter of the pot.

  4. 04

    Build the buffer first

    Three to six months of costs in cash means a bad month never forces you to sell at a bad price.

  5. 05

    Spread it wide

    One index fund holds hundreds of companies. No single failure can sink the whole plan.

  6. 06

    Pay off costly debt

    Clearing a 22% card balance is a guaranteed 22% return — no market reliably beats that.

  7. 07

    Stay invested

    The strongest days often arrive right after the worst ones. Sitting out tends to miss both.

  8. 08

    Rebalance once a year

    Trim what grew, top up what lagged, and let a calendar — not a headline — make the call.
