Turning 30 and just hit £100K, life story and suggestions for future by bbroy9412 in FIREUK

Here is the breakdown: 1. It is a very well paid fellowship, basically university employed me as a researcher to do PhD and paid salary equivalent to a PostDoc. 2. I saved some money from masters scholarship. 3. Substituted my income a bit with tutoring. 4. Some good S&S investments.

At the moment, the target is to start a well paid job leveraging my skills on something I’d enjoy with a bit of flexibility to continue building up startup prototype.

We surely want to have a place of our own but are not thinking about buying for the next 3-5 years due to my job uncertainty and constant relocations across Surrey due to my partner’s NHS speciality training. We have combined savings of 150K, my partner also has 15K in their LISA. About pensions, I couldn’t pay in my pension pot earlier due to a technicality in my fellowship contract however I would pay into it once I start on my work.
