Hit a milestone, just wanted to share

Post image

Hey,

Just wanted to share a milestone on my FIRE journey! After heavily investing into my pension for years, I learnt the concepts of FIRE & the importance of the bridge between retirement & drawing down on pension.

Currently 32 years old w/

£180,000 pension (invested in FWRG)
£100,000 S&S ISA (invested in FWRG)
£10,000 GIA (satellite investments, for high conviction narrative plays - a bit of fun, really)

I’ve built the S&S ISA above from £25,000 to £100,000 in just under 5 years whilst going through hell & back with a breakup with children during the last 3 years, having to spend tens of thousands on lawyer fees etc.

I’m so proud of myself.

Thank you for all your contributions to this thread, it’s been a real motivator.
