I'd say what a relief but I expect it's more like action stations and trying to recruit extra people to help you pack! All the best with it all.Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030
1) MFW Nov 21 £202K now £169.8K Equity 37.1%
2) £1.3K Net savings after CCs 16/1/26 (but owed £1.1K) so £2.4K
3) Mortgage neutral by 06/30 (AVC £34.8K + Lump Sums DB £4.6K + (25% of SIPP 1.3K) = 40.6/£127.5K target 31.8% 16/11/25
(If took bigger lump sum = 62.7K or 49.2%)
4) FI Age 60 income target £17.1/30K 57% (if mortgage and debts repaid - need more otherwise) (If bigger lump sum £15.8/30K 52.67%)
5) SIPP £5.2K updated 16/1/263 -
Congrats! Good luck with the last of the packing. I'm still changing addresses (remembered my driving licence today) for the second time in 6 months. Luckily my redirection goes to my mum so I'm not bothering to update it and add complication.3
