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
•
