August 2014 Update

It's now 6 months since I started planning for early retirement and investing to make it happen.

In that time my portfolio has increased by £10,687 which I'm pretty happy with. If I add in my husband's investments we now have almost £108,000 of the £170,000 that I reckon we need in order to be able to retire in 4 and a half years time. (£125,000 ISAs, £37,000 DC pension and £11,000 cash).

£62,000 and counting ....

    1. Thanks UTMT - it's surprising what a little concentrated effort can do. I just wish I;d applied myself sooner.

    1. Thanks Laura. I know that the markets could put a dent in it by dropping dramatically tomorrow but at least I feel as if I'm moving forward.
