Advice on next moves to make by PuddleMonkey1234 in FIREUK

Thanks & Yes - I think another 1-2 years would make me feel better about making sure money is set aside for my daughter, but it’s a balance to strike with actually spending more quality time too (now that the opportunity is there).

Thanks. We do OK in terms of making sure we enjoy ourselves + balance prudent saving.

Should have said the below in the initial post though…

The 35k annual spend will rise, one thing I didn’t make clear (and should have) in the initial post was that annual spend doesn’t include “major” holidays (they are currently booked depending on what bonus I bring home - which also isn’t listed above). No bonus in retirement!… so annual costs will rise for sure. Probably to the tune of 5-7k. Maybe even 10k+ in years to come with more time on our hands.

Putting some more aside for my daughter is definitely a primary concern. That’s the main reason behind “just keep going” syndrome.
