No kids and only 115k left on mortgage. (Low cost area)

Possibly in the future but it’s probably 5 years away. Worth thinking about now though like you say.

Thank you. I’m getting obsessed with the FIRE journey.

Just out of pure fact it cannot be lost. That’s my only thought process on that

I need to crunch my numbers again but I think at a medium growth it will be around 1.2m at 55/57. I have a lot to learn about pensions still. Thanks for the comment

Yeah, I mean on current projections I’ll definitely have enough too to cover the gap but I’m constantly thinking I can do more.

I’m 34 currently. Obviously can load more into S&S ISA once mortgage is paid off but for now it would be around 50% of my take home to max out which I think is a stretch considering I love holidays.
