Financially Independent, Retired Early (FIRE) in the UK.
Still building wealth via index funds and property. Here to pass on what wisdom I have.

[🇬🇧 FI is awesome 😎 @GrahamCompton]

Full FIRE 🔥@ 47 in the UK 🧵1/9
No crypto. No inheritance.
Just 24 BTLs + index funds that now pay all our bills
Exited the boutique consultancy June 2025
Now we actually live:
→ 8 hrs sleep 💤
→ Gym + garden on our terms 💪
→ 9 foreign trips this year✈️

You can 💯 do this too in a system rigged against you!

Despite a red day, My T212 Invest account is still up 0.1% today and stays above £24k.

My T212 ISA is also up on the day.

My Interactive Investor is down though.
