Inspired by the financial set-up topic, and a few other conversations on the forum, I thought it would be nice to do a quick poll to take the community’s temperature, find out more about us as a group, and to see how folks are financing (definitely correct use of that word)!
Because kinda personal, all answers are anonymous, and none of them required!
Quick edit to say: not a Monzo endorsed poll - just a bit of community fun!
