With my ISA maxed out, I can’t add more right now, but the growth doesn’t stop!

This month alone, it gained £1,883.06 and smashed through the £46k milestone.

Roll on 6th April—let’s keep this momentum going! 🫡

In the 🇬🇧, we can take advantage of some great tax efficiencies:

🔹 £20,000 ISA
🔹 £60,000 pension
🔹 £500 dividend
🔹 £3,000 CGT

Whether you’re using an ISA, pension, GIA, or a combination. How many of these are you making use of?

This is a reminder to speed up your road to retirement by investing early and oftern but also slow down life by taking in mindful moments and enjoying every day.

I have maxed out my ISA 2 times so far:

2023 ✅
2024 ✅

If I continue to max it for the next two years I should have over 100k in tax free money and hitting my target.

Don’t underestimate the power of compounding.

How to Invest in 2025!

1️⃣ Open a Low-Fee Broker Account:

Choose a platform with minimal fees to keep more of your returns. My top picks? InvestEngine (great for passive portfolios & ETF only) and Trading 212 (excellent for beginners and more hands-on investors).

ISA Allowance: MAXED OUT! 🎉

That’s £20,000 invested since April 6th, and my InvestEngine portfolio is now sitting at £44,250.21.

It’s been a journey of consistent contributions, selling off my GIA to optimise, minimising spending and selling off unwanted clothing.

Saw this and 💯 agree!

“Be the person with 100k in the bank and a 20k car.

Not the person with a 100k car and 20k in the bank”.

Everyone with a pension already owns stocks, bonds, and commodities, so why are some people afraid to invest?

Vanguard has announced a new £4 mth fee for investors with less than £32k in their accounts, which is a major letdown. This move will likely prompt many, myself included, to explore alternative platforms.

I wouldn’t be surprised if InvestEngine sees a surge in new customers following this decision!

In 2024, it takes the average couple 11 years to save up for their first house deposit.

In 1974, it took just 3 months.

Just a reminder 👀
If you remember this guy, it’s time to start saving for retirement

A financial planner is only necessary when you’re five years from retirement.

Before that? You’re likely wasting money. The basics of investing, saving, and budgeting are free and accessible. Relying on a planner early shows laziness and a lack of self-education.

Change my mind.

I invest in three ETFs that, together, replicate an all-world fund. Over the past 8 months, my portfolio has returned 13%!

By splitting my investments across these ETFs, I’m saving 0.11% on charges compared to Vanguard’s FTSE All-World.

Starting Monday, Dec 9th, InvestEngine is waiving all SIPP account fees.

ETF costs still apply, but this makes building your retirement pot even more cost-effective. For me, this was the push I needed to take my SIPP contributions seriously.

Is it time to fix your dual rate? I’ve just slashed my energy costs from £227pm (standard tariff) to £146pm on a 1 year fixed deal,saving £972 over the next year!
With Ofgem confirming a 1.2% price cap increase in January, affecting 80% of households, locking in a rate now might be worth considering
