Do you have emergency savings?
A pension?
Funding/a plan for the travelling?
They're all things I'd look at first.
Right now any money I have want to invest is going into the stock market, for the long term.
The house idea might be a good one and it might work but you need to think about what you will do if the tenants stop paying rent, do a runner and/or trash the place. My LL says the last lot did it to him and it cost him £12k.0
