I totally get it, id be and will likely be exactly the same mate. Im 43 this year, I have time on my side to recover any poorly chosen stocks as i go and i have a great deal of financial security already and will retire very well. This investment portfolio, and this little ambition i gave myself branching into investing at 39 is to determine at what age. I spoke to someone on EEE, (yes its not all hate) on this yesterday why.
"Definitely kids are irrelevant here, but they are my driving force to simply retire between 50, to 55 maximum and enjoy the rest of my life in company of family.
My Old manager here was a lovely bloke, and his regret was working 2 years past his retirement not letting go of his daily routine. He retired to be home with his wife at 67, and she passed in her sleep 4 months later 🥹 seeing that the other week emphasised my mission here.
Get investing, get smarter and get out.
Thats not how im going out its that simple, but im not naive to think money lasts and from 50 i plan on living fully so i will continue to invest but from a very experienced, and more financially settled position that my risk reduction, portfolio size can reduce dramatically and i can just concentrate on 1 or 2 in my spare time"
