We all have an endless lists of things to do - or as we call it 'life admin'. Is investing just one of many items on that list?

We are all busy and a new study finds the combination of balancing work, relationships, family, finances and fitness intensifies as we reach 30.

The research, carried out by Selftrade from Equiniti, the online investment platform, reveals that people in their 30s are at the busiest point of their lives with the least free time and the longest to-do lists. In fact, time pressures are such that one in three (35%) say they NEVER find themselves with nothing to do.

Mark Taylor, CCO (Chief Customer Office) of Selftrade from the Equiniti Group recognises that we all have a myriad of money management related tasks that we should be getting on with. Mark comments:

Spend some time facing your money matters head on. Look at what you spend, and what you save. Ask yourself whether you're getting enough out of your cash savings? With rates at an all-time low, it may be time to consider putting some money into the stock market. Whatever decisions you make, spending time thinking about your financial future now can reap rewards in the long run.

With interest rates still at an all-time low, many people are choosing to put their longer-term savings into the stock market because it has been shown that, while there are no guarantees, the returns are likely to be greater than with cash.

For as little as £2 a day, you can start investing in a Selftrade Stocks and Shares ISA. That's time well spent. Find out more about how investing in for your future is #TimeWellSpent.

Please note:

The value of investments can fall as well as rise and any income from them is not guaranteed and you may get back less than you invested. Past performance is not a guide to future performance.

The extent and value of any ISA tax advantages or benefits will vary according to your circumstances. The levels and bases of taxation many also change. Equiniti Financial Services Limited does not provide investment advice.

If you are in any doubt as to the risk or suitability of an investment or product you should seek advice from an independent financial advisor.
