What is £100 a month really worth over the long term, and what is it costing you to leave that money sitting still? In this solo episode of Accelerating Your Wealth, Rebecca Robertson makes the case for investing in the calm, unglamorous sense, not picking the next hot stock.

Rebecca explains why most people are already investors through their workplace pension without realising it, shares the client whose Bitcoin tanked while her pension quietly bought the house, and shows how £100 a month, roughly a weekly takeaway, can compound into far more than you put in. She also lays out the real cost of waiting, and why time in the market beats trying to time it.
