RE: Total Net Wealth Update End May 2019
Wow. I don't know how fulfilling that amount is in the UK, but here in Nigeria that would be a worthwhile testament to a life dedicated to a honest living 🙂 So I'll say, congratulations. For some context, my dad is about to receive 1/4 of that as gratuity for working 35 years as a nurse. And he's just been getting by the past 3 years (after retirement) waiting for this HUGE settlement after working so long. Credit to him though, he built a house, if that counts as an asset 😂
Here in the UK that'd cover my outgoings for about 4 years if I'm careful. A pension pot of £250K would be regarded as just about liveable on!
Just goes to show how grossly unequal the world remains.
Building yr own house is a real achievement - I don't count mine as an asset as I have to live in it - and it's property prices that keep a lot of people grinding away here.
Must be a great time for yr Dad - used to getting by and now about to come into some money - that's a great place to be!
