[GB] Using GBP currency account to receive salary (in IE-based Rev account)

It says Invest/ISA help. The people in this sub need to stop assuming everyone is in the UK. If they were in the UK it'd say interest on GBP and would show an ISA on this menu

I’m on 224 per day. But GBP.
I could actually live off that, at a push.

Yes, you absolutely can. Just buy GBP/USD at the spot price with leverage set to 1:1. Your max loss is just what you put in. No futures, no borrowing. I think any broker will let you do this.

IITU (iShares S&P 500 IT sector) is an ETF traded in London (I think administered in Ireland). It’s a tracker, tracking US tech in GBP.
There is also IUIT which is a USD version of the same index also traded in London. I have both I’m not quite sure why.
They’re available on Freetrade, T212 and IBKR and everywhere else I assume.
There is no direct equivalent in US.

Buy a motorbike instead. I got a second hand kawi z1000 with like 10k miles on it for 7000 GBP. It does 0-60 in less than 3s and you don't pay for parking or wait in traffic. You'll never get that kind of performance for that amount of money.
And since you have no dependents, dying isn't an issue! I chickened out of riding after kids, suddenly very scared of dying.

Ah I only have GBP, sorry

\[GB\] I've just opened up a new savings account (With GBP) claiming to provide 5% aer interest up to 25k. Interest is paid till December 2026. I'm new to revolut so trying to figure out how much I will get by December (assuming 5% if rates don't change much ) if I put 24k in today. I'm bad with maths, can anyone advise?

I’ve decided on the following investment split.
I decided on this split and my main goals are to get at least 10% as an annualised return over 20 years.
Is there anything glaringly wrong with the proposed split and would you recommend some other index fund?
$600 - HSBC FTSE All-World Index Fund (13.88% annualised over 10 years)
$400 - S&P 500 index fund (16.2% annualised over 10 years) - \*\*selected for growth!\*\*
$400 - Nasdaq-100 / EQQQ (19.50% annualised over 10 years) - \*\*selected for growth!\*\*
$200 - Vanguard Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund GBP Acc (11.25% annualised over 10 years) - \*\*I chose this to diversify but I realise a large chunk of the holdings are US. Please recommend better emerging market indexes that hold no or little US stocks as I’m already sorted in that area with the other funds.\*\*
$67 - Berkshire Hathaway

What strategy do you use? My first strategy was trading 1h/4h OB's, so i used EUR/USD, GBP/JPY, USD/JPY, AUD/USD. There was some corealation but not that much.
