Put the items in your preferred order.
Bricks and Mortar
Property has long been Britain's favourite wealth-builder, though stamp duty, mortgage rates and Section 24 have made it less of a sure thing.
Stocks & Shares ISA
A flexible way to invest up to Β£20,000 a year tax-free, usually via index funds tracking the FTSE or global markets.
Workplace or SIPP Pension
Long-term, locked away until 57, but the tax relief and employer contributions are hard to beat for retirement planning.

Premium Bonds
Government-backed and capital-secure, with the chance of a tax-free win each month instead of guaranteed interest.
Gold and Precious Metals
A traditional store of value that holds its own when currencies wobble, but it pays no income and storage isn't free.
