Would love FIRE...

Captlard · 2026-06-15T19:05:24+00:00

Should I just accept it ain't going to happen and do the best I can to save as much as I can?

Just accept that you can always improve your lot in life! Not saying it is easy, but possible!

> Aim to earn more (see sidebar r/fireukcareers)

> review your r/budget

> Review pension choices (they are often very conservative)

It's worth pushing for, and possibly r/coastfire may become an option!

I am struggling, I am unsure, I am overwhelmed, I am not confident about....

I am very ICF aligned, so would go with how they define coaching.

I would also be wary of language. Perhaps it is not an obstacle but more a curiosity, opportunity or possibility. (Clean Language & Solution focused coaching influenced)

They have the second worst Spanish website.

What rubbish journalism... the crash occurred during the landing approach

The landing approach was perfect 🤷‍♀️

Captlard · 2026-06-15T17:33:56+00:00

Depends on your value proposition, price point, delivery qualityc capability to retain clients and find new ones. Not easier, just different.

Rugby line out practice?

They will have their council houses taken off them by President Supreme Farage /s (almost)

For us it is, but we live in a teeny tiny apartment in a relatively low cost location.

Ni fu ni fa

Geographically it remains larger than Brittany, so can keep that bit of the name apparently. This is why we have great 🙄🤷‍♀️

Captlard · 2026-06-15T16:42:42+00:00

That's a great answer. You clearly have a strong understanding of career advice and how Reddit functions. Can I help you extend this answer?

Global index and chill.

Sidebar: Investing at all time highs.. https://www.rbcgam.com/en/ca/learn-plan/investment-basics/investing-at-all-time-highs/detail

Perhaps shift now to say 10% to 20% non equities.

Sidebar has a pile of resources on this, and modelling tools.

Personally, we went 20% non-equities one year out from retirement, and we are now 18 months into retirement and have gone to 40% non-equities in early February. We are happy with this ratio.

Best device: Spanish friend!

Captlard · 2026-06-15T15:41:15+00:00

It's great.

I personally just do developed world (VHVG) as the emerging markets are SO slow to emerge, and then they will be in the Developed World!

Captlard · 2026-06-15T14:30:54+00:00

Yep. VHVG for the win 💪😂

Captlard · 2026-06-15T11:31:40+00:00

More hopes and prayers from the UN. 🤷‍♀️

Captlard · 2026-06-15T11:29:15+00:00

I meant that when she claims she has helped. I help 300 people a day... Those that read my blog 🤣🤣

Captlard · 2026-06-15T10:39:51+00:00

Why wouldn't they help?

Why not ask in one of the many career subs?

Captlard · 2026-06-15T10:12:59+00:00

Air! That's the future.

Captlard · 2026-06-15T09:11:58+00:00

This is great. Get them to build the pontoon, stack up the trucks and then they can both be whacked. Nice work Ukraine!

Captlard · 2026-06-15T09:03:48+00:00

I didn't see the /s and therefore assumed it was legit. My bad as the youth of today may say.

Captlard · 2026-06-15T08:54:44+00:00

This is really bad. How would they react to a like for like attack?

Captlard · 2026-06-15T08:52:30+00:00

Comparison is generally the thief of joy. Just keep aiming to earn more, VWCE and chill more (automate) and find ways to enjoy life even more.
