It's amazing to see some of the holdings you guys have here, and the opportunity for some of you to retire after this is incredible, can only hope you that everyone who has an opportunity to never work again after this will be able to. I'm surprised the government actually allow us to have an ISA, the growth potential is amazing, almost feels like a fairy tale lol. I wish I had discovered investing whilst I was in university, would have wasted less money on material things but I suppose when you are 19/20 that's just life.
As for myself, I will keep investing as I'm still no where near financially secure, I work as a Finance Officer for the NHS so I'll chuck some profits towards studying my ACCA qualification and see where my finance career takes me, set a deposit for my first home and hopefully get married by the end of this year.
I've got my eye on some other interesting stocks, ideally I just want to slam in £5-10k into a few of them and forget they exist for a few years, just turned 26 last month so by the time I'm 30, I can reap the rewards of some long term investments and see where my career is.
It's amazing how quick your life can turn around, from working in JD Sports for £7 an hour in 2018, to now working towards a professional accounting qualification, and on the brink of something massive with EUA.
