Hi,

Can I ask for your thoughts about pensions withdrawl in the future.

If in the future it's still possible to withdraw 25% tax free at 55, is there anything to stop me from increasing my contributions, avoiding the tax on payroll and taking it later as part of the tax free amount ? I understand the £40k annual limit and I'm currently outing around £30k in per annum (inc employers contribution)

I have a few more years to go, currently achieved 33% of my retirement goal for FIRE

Thanks and apologies for the question on this thread.

Appreciate I'd need to take professional advise, just wanted to ask this board.

It was a refreshing review of the monthly stats. Both pension and isa's rebounded and with continued investment its made the position look a lot better.

Similiarly i have no idea what the future holds with the disaster that is 2020 so its a case of just keep doing what i am doing.

Look forward to the interview update

Yeah, by this point, NO idea what's going to happen next :)

Great progress - you were lucky with those Tesla shares - well done - what's the news !?

Sooooon the news will be out! And the blog will be changed forever!

Hey congrats on breaking even SN. I slipped back under the 100K again and still have not recovered yet.

I have no idea about what your exciting news may be about, you are teasing me! hehe ;)

Focusing on personal growth sounds like a the clever thing to do right now, so well done on that.

You get to celebrate all over again!

Haha, the news will come out soon, just confirming everything. Or if you can't wait then DM me ;)

haha I can't wait but I'll wait. Let's make it exciting! :D

Did you see the SpaceX rocket? I was so awed by it that I didn't take a photo as it would have been brilliant, just as it was passing the moon!

Great update and great gains with Tesla - even my little slice (bought at the wrong time when he had that Twitter meltdown!) is upn 15%!

Like @Nick, I already know about your exciting news but I want to know more details! ;-)

I didn't! Super jealous that you did! We tried to look out of our skylights but the sky was really white down south, must have been clearer up north :)

I need to start writing some longer posts, there's been so much going on lately with the news and not being on a train commuting that it's been hard to focus on any substantial writing.

Another £10K month! Not bad ;)

I'm seriously trying not to look at the market right now. The experts are all over the place. Nobody has a fucking clue about what's going on :P (QE is fucking it all up).

So are you planning to keep the Tesla shares you have now, or will you continue to buy/sell (I don't know the technical term for it? :P ).

Looking forward to hearing the exciting news! ;) (oh, wait - I already know! m00hahahah).

I'm planning on keeping them, I've lost the courage to try and trade them anymore after they shot up again! Plus..ahem...new tax purposes may hinder trading by a bit.
