Happy new year!"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0

Dia I think the marlows needs pyramid is interesting. If we have a home and income I would say most of us sit comfortably in that middle band most of the time. But... things can get disrupted. I felt part of a tribe for most of my working life but it fell away once I finished and went self employed. We keep in touch but it lacks the day to day uplift I got from it. During covid I lost a close friend and that has never been replaced. I mourn that still. But you are totally correct that joining in with things is the key to rebuilding. It takes time so you have done exceptionally well considering how recently you settled into a new area. I think the top layer is a bit like reaching for the stars, and that's a very human thing to want1
