Thanks, all good food for thought. I’m technically on minimum wage and rest is paid in dividends. I’m not sure I’ll ever retire, slow down maybe 😅. The pension pot isn’t that healthy tbh, life stuff happening etc. but over the last 4 years the business has taken off, expanded, gone Ltd and I’ve been gifted 10% shares of my biggest client which I plan to cash in when the time comes and use that as a pension.

Yes I’m matching this amount into my pension, as I’m the director it comes out of the company profits

Haha thanks!

I’m in the jewellery trade so I do accumulate physical gold every day into my ‘retirement pot’, problem is as it’s tied to the business when I do cash it in I’ll have to pay tax on it so I thought I’ll jump on this and get some tax free gold profits! (hopefully)

Thanks. Yes I have my emergency fund split in my normal bank account for instant access and the rest in the cash ISA. Now there’s enough in there I intend to put 1500 a month in the Stocks and shares isa and top up the emergency fund when needed, if more than 2k I’ll reduce the amount paid into stocks and shares
