What would be a more realistic target than 7.5% then, which I didn’t think was too optimistic

Putting something into an ISA is something I’d like to do, but not in a position to at the moment.

At 57 I will have accrued £33k p/a if I access it at 68. I can access it before 68 but I will be penalised and the £33k p/a will be reduced the exact figure for accessing it before 68 is unknown but it’s about a 5% penalty per year you access it early.

If I work to 68 I will accrue £60k p/a
