I met with Sammie from Up The Gains Money to go through his journey from being Β£24k in debt to now having over Β£200k invested.
Including how he financially educated himself and built an app along the way.
Plus, we got ambushed by a dog, some kids and a heard of cows... π€£

7:34 - Financial education & investing Will I Switch To Vanguard's New Global ETF 'VALL'? Here's My Plan For Every Account
11/09/2026 | 12 mins.π List of Brokers I use (some have sign-up offers):
I currently haven't invested a single penny in Vanguard's new FTSE Global All Cap ETF, 'VALL'.
There are 3 key reasons why, and we go through them in this video.
Saying that, I might invest/switch to VALL soon...
And I've been getting quite a few questions about my plan, given that I am a global index fund investor myself.
So in this episode I go through each of my investing accounts - and each investment - to chat through which ones I probably will switch to VALL, and which ones I probably won't switch to VALL.
At the time Are you investing in VALL yet?
