It feels absolutely bizarre writing this post, knowing that I have over £250,000+ sitting in the account. I would’ve never expected to, in a million years to save this level of money given that I was a bit of a spender on cars, electronics and useless tat (now come to think of it). It seems almost unreal to me that since January 2019 where I had about £500 to my name, to now see it climb up this quickly.

If I can average £250,000 every 2 years then crikey, I would be absolutely dead chuffed with that progress. But with recent bubbling going on and speculation of hyperinflation and all the other financial gossip, and with the market in a bull like state for so long, how long can this growth keep going until it comes tumbling down on itself? It makes you ponder for a second and for those that have FIRE’d I imagine quite terrifying.
But as with true British spirit, we shall keep calm and carry on. The Index Fund I’m invested in is diverse over 2,500 stocks – if those stocks were to drop to zero, then there would certainly be bigger issues going on in the world!
Congratulations, Jase! I was on track to quarter of a million myself but having to dip into the pot for house purchase will set me back temporarily. I hope to still get there by the end of this year, despite this.
Onwards and upwards, half a million won’t take you long!
Thanks Weenie!
It feels great to hit this milestone!
Wishing you all the best with the house purchase.

Well Jase, you said it, which very clearly shows that you know what you are talking about. 🙂
