I know this is a question that depends on personal situation but was just wondering people’s opinions of what they would do in my situation and why?

I am male 28 and wife is 26. We recently got married. No kids. Mortgage bought house this year with 5% deposit. 5.17% interest on 2 year fix. We have 4 months emergency fund now. My pension is currently around £2000 since my focus before this was buying the house. My wife’s pension is around £3000.

I am currently self employed

For any spare cash what will be your allocation between;

  1. overpayment of mortgage
  2. Contribution to a SIPP. What percentage of income should i aim as minimum or maximum to contribute going forward.
  3. Contribution to Stocks and shares ISA.
  4. Contribution to a Stocks and Shares LISA.
  5. ANY OTHER options.

Your thoughts will be greatly appreciated.
