Early Retirement Extreme Update August 2018

in #money7 years ago

Still on track to retire by 52 @ the very latest (possibly by 48!), assuming my online income doesn't dry up!

Total Net Wealth = £168K


basically no change since last month...

Still waiting on my house sale to go through, so a bit up in air ATM... I'll be able to make a more accurate assessment.

August Expenditure...


I set myself the goal of keeping this below £40/ day, and came in @ £24/ day....

I'm in a liminal phase of my life, so I don't mind the large sums on coffee, beer, and take out food (basically 'lunch!').

Well done! 💙

Plenty of room for improvement but I'm quite pleased so far!

That is a lot of coffee :)

It's 1-2 take outs a day, I include thre cost of the occassional pastry!

It's a liminal thing - once I'm settled I'll cut in down by 80% and save them as a weekend treat!

Cool man thanks for sharing some cool plans !!

Good to read that you are still on track.

Do you have a family to feed?

BTW: What does liminal mean?

Liminal = in between.

No family. Not that way inclined (fortunately/ unfortunately).

Thanks for the comment!

Do you think you could still make your plan work if you had to feed a family? What would it take?

Glad you are still on track!

How is the house market in the UK at the moment? Ours seems to be slowing and prices dropping a little but new home construction still seems to be fairly busy so I am not really sure which way we are headed from here.

$3 for "cofee" - sounds like something charged by my home state of Colorado lol

May I ask, excuse my ignorance, what is "poundland" category?
We are planning to retire early as well, thanks for sharing.

Hi - it's just a budget store where I get most of my kitchen stuff/ toiletries from - poundland - everything costs a pound!

Oh ok, lol, that makes so much sense, thank you for educating me on that one. Here in the US we have the "dollar store", which I love for purchasing certain items.
