Your questions this month

 1. Everyone keeps telling me that I should start investing, but I earn less than 30K a year. When should I start doing it? It feels a bit pointless to use £20 a month.

- Ali, Education, Edinburgh

2. My sister has massive student debt from her masters. I really want to do one, but I just don't want all of the debt. Is it worth doing a masters these days? Should I sacrifice the money? I can't decide what to do.

3. My Mum always drilled into me that I should never be reliant on a man, but my fiancé earns twice as much as I do. We want to buy a house, but our budgets are obviously so different. Is it ok to get a nicer house that is outside my budget? How can I make sure I don't become reliant on him?

Key takeaways from Ask Lynn.

  • Start investing now, even with £20 a month - the habit and compounding are worth more than the amount.

  • A master’s is only worth the debt if it tangibly boosts your earning power or opens doors you couldn’t otherwise access. 

  • It’s fine to buy a bigger house, just protect your independence with clear contributions and your name on the deed.
