Getting FIREd up 😀

CM, my investments are all ESG too, despite the higher fees compared to a passive tracker. If you’re interested, Doughnut Economics by Kate Raworth is an interesting read.

I think it'll be worth around £80k by the time I'm 60

Have just been doing some spreadsheeting (not my strongest skill, but think I've got it correct), and assuming a 2% average interest rate per year (hopefully not too way off the mark), I'll end up with £90.8k at age 60, after putting in £52k of my own money overall. Pretty happy with that as a risk-free supplement to my other plans. 

Even more exciting, I calculated I "only" need to find another £32k to make up the remainder of my contributions 😀 Now, how many extra £50s is that....🤔🤔🤔???

640 which seems surprisingly few...

Yep, easy peasy 👍👍👍🤣

Gah, very detailed dream about, er, relations with a colleague! At least this time a) this one is quite nice; and b) all we did was kiss and gently touch hands (it was just the first blossoming of our involvement, we spent most of the time discussing the fact he is married with children 😬 and that he had a huge field as a garden and how much upkeep it must take 🤷‍♀️) It appears even in my dreams I have no desire to wield a lawnmower! Not sure I'll be able to look him in the eye in real life for a while now, never thought of him in that way when I was awake 😳

Thank God tomorrow is 1 February!!!

Very very funny, I was like I wonder what sensible things South_coast has written about this morning - and I definitely wouldn't have guessed. That's made me smile before work thank you!

Brilliant!!  He doesn’t know you dreamt about him .. unless weirdly he has had the same dream …. 

Good to know the expense of a sit on lawnmower not in your future or needing to be pot to save for

You should know me better than that by now 🤣!

He's in the office today as well. Fortunately our eyes have only met briefly through a window 😳!

So far....🤣

Was he mowing the lawn on the other side of the window?
