Getting FIREd up 😀

Here you go Jess, I'll show you mine so you don't have to 🤣!

Is it too late to hope for a rally before I do my official check-in on 01/02 🤔?

Not exotic, just what comes in my veg box! No chard, celeriac (Although I avoid that these days) or butternut squash, to name just a few!

 Jess, I’m too scared to look too - but it will pass!

I braved my ISA and it’s fine - most of mine is in ESG Europe and I’m still up 37%!

My ISA looked almost the same when I checked the other day and my "fun" share that I have in a certain American entertainment company has completely tanked.  Not panicking though, this is all part of investing 🤔

I don’t need to look so it’s fine.. and I know parts of my SIPP will have tanked at least. I don’t need it for 20 years so in no rush there!

Nearly £6k knocked off the value of my SIPP (was touching £70k, now at just over £64k). Assuming £10k+ of a drop between this and Mrs E's pensions

Oh goodness! I’ve only just dipped my toe into investing by opening a JISA with £30 for DD. Now worth £27.50 ish but it’s a good lesson in investing I guess. Would have been nice to start with some growth though 😂

When I started investing I was in the negative for about a month if I recall correctly. But it was good that "the worst" happened straight away since I was no longer scared of it. 

I don't know where I would get the money from, but if I had my emergency fund back up and paid off my mum, I would be buying in a dip like this. I remember when trump got into office (I think or it might have been some of his crazy tweets), I popped money in then and it did quite nicely.

I shall review on payday when it arrives (if it ever arrives) 🙄

In other news, I've now been invited to a one-hour Zoom interview for £60 - but still don't think I can be bothered 🤣!

South_coast

Right, I have given myself a shake and sent my details back. £60 is an amount not to be sniffed at! Have a feeling they won't want me anyway, as I've never even visited the website of the specific beauty brand they are asking about, which I've been honest about. Or maybe they will want me because of that 🤔?
