There is no guarantee what the future will hold, so when planning for our financial future, we can look back at history and replay our finances in that context and see what would happen.

I am using a tool that I was able to get free access to during…

According to FT Adviser 2.5 million were able to fill their ISAs (both cash and stocks and shares) in the tax year to April 2023. So What do you do when you have filled your ISA?

I dug a hole in our raised bed in the garden. I put a watertight planter in it. I put a brick at the bottom to one side and a water-based plant on top of the brick. I put some pebbles at the bottom and a bit of scrap stone or something that creatures could climb up and then left it. We had a frog quite quickly, the child named him Dave. Then another, and I believe we are likely on the third…

I recently wrote about the ISA bridge and the idea of an “apex” - the point where an ISA has grown large enough to carry you from the day you stop work to the day a pension becomes accessible. That post worked through my own numbers: £147k in the ISA, £20k a year going in, a £36k/year target, and a handful of tables showing what the apex looks like at different ages and growth rates. Tables are…

At 43, the retirement picture is quickly coming into focus and becoming less about accumulating an enormous pension and more about solving one specific problem: Build enough accessible capital to stop work sooner, before 58, then use that capital to bridge the gap until the pension becomes available.

Volatility is short-term price movement; risk is the chance of not meeting your goal. They are not the same thing and why it matters in 2026 Definitions Risk is what you see when there is any investment advert in the uk. “Capital is at risk”, “Stocks may go up as well as down”. “You may get back less than you invest”, and broadly it’s true but it is not likely when investing in a broad index fund.…

We cannot keep going on like this with secret schemes on fast track timescales, cooked up by faceless individuals and of dubious benefit to the game.

I believe I have been fortunate to have had a spontaneous remission of my ME/CFS symptoms. It has been a few weeks since I’ve felt a change. I take the position, based on both published evidence and on numerous reports from people with ME/CFS that I have seen over the years, that the percentage of people who recover and return to full normal health is small and that ‘spontaneous recovery’ is…
End of another week and my apparent remission from ME continues. More gardening, more going to the shops with my family, more playing games together. The lawn and some cutting back of overgrown weeds and bushes are done. My heart rate hit 165 during this and I’ve had no issues. Time to return to work, hopefully.

Strong words; Infantino’s role as president of FIFA is now untenable. UEFA and its 55 member associations stand as one.
