Maybe, it could be the end of the road if everyone bails, I am willing to wait and see, I knew what I was getting into before and was prepared to gamble it for a bit of fun.. One reddit user has lost 5m in one day..edinburgher said:1 -
If it's the main one, it's worth remembering he started off with 50,000 dollars and has made illusory millions since 😉Zola. said:

For sure, I sincerely hope he has cashed out at least a few million, but it doesn't appear so. What a mad man!

Delurking to cheer you on in your quest. Eliminating 1 digit from the end of the balance was a huge moment for us, and I make sure we celebrate each £10k bracket. We're on a similar path in trying to be mortgage neutral by using an S&S Isa, and so far our projected date is Feb 2026, but I'm hoping for some time in 2025. So good luck!MFW: Was: £136,000.......Now: £47,736.58......4

Thanks very much, @shangaijimmy
I like the idea of celebrating every 10k, the race to mortgage neutral is the first dream! 1 -
Well done on five figures!DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

Nothing too much to report this month. More of the same in the house, working, walking, running and a bit of cooking! We finished our Nordic noir series (The Bridge), so we are on the lookout for something new to watch.
I got an email notice to say some small side hustle work I did ages ago will finally be paid tomorrow (£300), so I plan to shift that into my Vanguard funds! Always a welcome boost to get that...
February update:
S&S ISAs vs Mortgage Debt: 39.43% (+0.9%).
S&S ISAs & Cash Vs Mortgage Debt: 51.06% (+1.38%).
Combined Gap to Mortgage Neutral: £48,774 (-£1741)
Tipped over the 50% marker now, another small milestone
