Sigh!
Before we go into the finance side of the month, I’ll start with a little rant about how my Saturday football has gone in the month, culminating in multiple head losses, a 3 match ban and a hefty fine for the month. Football truly is the beautiful game but has been completely poisoned by the attitudes of people within the game. Even getting to a final with my Sunday team hasn’t sweetened the bitter taste.
This obviously isn’t aimed at everyone in these positions as a disclaimer (for any refs reading lol). The governance from the top is poor at best/corrupt at the worst, Referees don’t understand the game with an ever increasing level of arrogance, Manager’s who have watched too many punditry shows think they’re geniuses and the players; I can’t believe how many big timers and cheats there are at amateur level.
Rant over and I’m looking forward to a fun April, travelling to Brazil then stopping over in Rome for a few days on the way back. The break from work (and football!) is needed, with the batteries needing a recharge before year end and Audit.
Liquid Assets
With all the uncertainty coming out from the US in March it was a bad month for the USD and Shares. This made March my worst ever month since tracker my finances. In fairness it’s not really life changing money and it’s all on paper, but seeing my S&S ISA go back down to 5 figures is slightly annoying, but buying at a lower price beats that slight emotional attachment to 6 digits. Inconveniently, the price of the shares when I purchased in the month had a little spike meaning I missed in on a bit of a discount, but such is life. Paid into my vanguard account at payday, which I imagine is similar to a lot of people, although not sure this is the reason for that little spike. Time in beats timing blah blah blah 😀
Sorry this isn’t the greatest post ever, just trying to get this out quickly.
