    Do you have a mortgage or rent?

    My long term goal is to get my own house because when it's paid off then the house will be mine and no more mortgage repayments. I don't have to pay endless rent and will be able to spend more of my pension fund.

    I pay rent, but I am looking to the mortgage front. This is for next year as well as I am clearing debt etc, I have started knocking chunks out of it. Someone suggested the buy a house and rent it out etc, or buy it, do it up and sell, that could be a possability

    Surely the good sign of a skilled investor ;) - I'm sure you've seen Warren Buffett's car/house/lifestyle

    Would focus on getting your own house\mortgage first – that will eat all your money. Later on look at investing.

    I started buying index funds and bonds last year. Read a bit about it (still know little really) and thought why not.
    btw this isn't means to get rich, this is to get more return than from savings account etc.
    As Sparky mentions, you need your finances in order first. If you have debt, clear it. If you are getting a house, get a good deal (decent deposit saves thousands long term). I invest few percent of my wages and save at least 30 for everything else life throws in the way.

    There's plenty of information available if you look for it, imagine if spending 10£ on a book can make you thousands if you learn how to manage money - rather worth it right? Money saving expert site is a good start. Regarding investing, google "couch potato" investments, long term it's ridiculous how profits can grow with little management. Just don't believe someone can make you rich quickly.
