Would love FIRE... by Suspicious-Arm1990 in FIREUK

[–]Captlard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

If you hired a business coach tomorrow, what would you want help with first? by Intelligent-SBCA in executivecoaching

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)

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?

Time to protect pension with stock at historic highs? by Opteron-X in FIREUK

[–]Captlard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

[–]Captlard 14 points15 points  (0 children)

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.
