On a similar note, Work-from-Home is changing to Hybrid for me so I need to move closer to London (W2).

I need suggestions of affordable, decent areas around. Would appreciate!

Overpay by some if you have some extra cash because as summer starts winter is coming, the extra payment will help absorb any shock that comes with increased bill.

Read somewhere that energy prices might go up in October again.

Virtual and prepaid cards, are 2 entirely different things........

Virtual card - Disposable
Prepaid card - Not disposable (A fee is usually attached to prepaid cards). With PPC, if the vendor is a scammer, they can keep attempting withdrawals, from PPC ........

But with virtual, once you make payment......Simply destroy it ..,.........

Yes.
I've a Revolut free account, and I can generate a virtual card for individual transactions, unless that has recently changed.

It probably still remains........ So revolut seems to king of new generation banks..........

I like monzo for pots and ability to get paid one day in advance (free) + direct debits notifications (days in advance)..... wink

With Revolut free account, you can have a virtual card that would serve the same purpose as your ATM. You also have the option to generate a disposable virtual card. Revolut made me not to know this country's currency cos I rarely carry cash

I switched Monzo for Chase.
the 1% cashback from Chase is something, it adds up.
Its only for 1 year though, so when that ends, I'll switch the Chase to some other bank for any available switching bonus.
No loyalty for jungle.
