FTSE 100 Reaches Record Highs: Is It Time to Invest?
The FTSE 100 has reached a record high, prompting discussions on whether now is a good time to invest, especially for first-timers. While investing can offer higher long-term returns compared to savings, it involves risks, and many people still lack sufficient emergency savings. The government and regulators are encouraging more investment, but caution is advised due to potential overvaluation and market volatility, particularly in AI-related stocks. New rules will also make financial guidance more accessible, though not personalized, to help consumers make informed decisions.
