I definitely do. I'm actually working on a premium product about pensions but I should at least write a few blog posts on them :) Personally I'm not a fan of stake holder pensions -personal pensions have more freedom and flexibility -and can be as cheap or even cheaper than stake holder ones. Thanks for the kind words too, Lisa. You’re right Lisa! I definitely do.

I could really do with some advise re Stakeholder pension. Love your blog - it's always nice to find one in pounds and not dollars. Write the blog on pensions already Adam!

I currently have the first one in place but have yet to set up number two. Since the pay cycle has already passed for this pay period, I will make sure that it's implemented in the next one. I like the idea more and more of up-selling myself and the lessons of the cheese pedlar made it crystal clear. Thanks for the excellent advice.

To my mind if I wanted to a cheeseburger I would have ask for one. I’ve always wondered why I ordered a hamburger or by a number for a hamburgerr meal they ask if I wanted cheese.

I also find it helpful to do a 'net-worth' calculation at the same time so I can see if I'm moving in a positive direction each month. @Jon, Extended warranties certainly are something I'd like to explore in the future on Magical Penny, but over the next few weeks I'm going to continue with the 'story arc' of getting prepared and learning about investing. It's interesting to hear your perspective because I haven't heard many 'extended warranties are good' stories. @Moah -Great strategy: I do exactly the same thing.

I feel they are generally unduly chastised by sections of the public/media. The number I have bought were more than outweighed by the shiny new Vaio laptop and money in the bank I have got from mine (as well as some other benefits, but others where I got no return). However, with the new Direct Debit idea, they are a little more tenuous. Anyway, I hope you will be doing a future post on this. Oh, and instant saving is idiot proof. I think you are reminding me that now I am a bit more settled, I need to turn them 'on' again!
