• Looking for a FIRE excel model! Just getting into FIRE planning and found this community and was wondering anyone has an easily adjustable excel model I could use to kick start my planning ?

  If you want something to go alongside your excel, I created a free FIRE app called Topia which you may find useful. You can connect in your investment/debt accounts, customise your inputs (SWDR, FI number etc) and Topia will build out your timeline to FI and update in real-time. You won't get the complete customisation/personalisation you get with a spreadsheet but it's a good way to get started initially and keep... Source: over 2 years ago

• Starting my FIRE journey. Just opened a Vanguard Account today. What next?

  If you're competent using excel you can build out a fully personalised roadmap/FI tracker on there. Alternatively, I'm in the process of building a free tool (a FIRE app) that can help anyone at the start of their FIRE. You just input all the numbers and it will build you out a FIRE roadmap and give you an estimated FIRE date + timeline (+ some other cool features). You can check it out here if you fancy.

• Speaking with like minded people

  Staying motivated / excited on a what can be a long journey is always tricky. Maybe talking to others about your FI journey isn't the only/best option - breaking down your journey into smaller milestones can be a great tool to keep you motivated and excited. It's important to think up ones that are relevant and resonate with you the most. A fun one I've seen a lot is working out at what point you'll be able to... Source: over 2 years ago

• Someone help me plan. We have 80k.

  For me, the core things to line up in the early days are: 1. Make sure you have the right investment foundations in place. i.e. ISA set up, know the details around your employers pension scheme (how much they contribute, what the fees are). Then you can make sure you're matching your employers contribution and everything else you save can go into your ISA. Try and automate this to some degree - e.g. Set up direct...

• 20 y/o starting to invest

  Firstly, great stuff for starting so young. You're already way ahead of the game having an ISA and setting up regular contributions into it. It sounds like you're pretty ok from an account/investing standpoint. Just keep matching your employer's pension contribution and putting everything else into your ISA. Given you've got your investments/ISAs etc set up, the only other point worth noting is do you know what... Source: over 2 years ago

• Starting out my FIRE journey (19m)

  Congrats on getting started so early! If only I was as switched on at 19 I think if you live in your family home for the first year you're fine to build up your emergency fund in tandem with your investments. Just make sure that by the time you do move out and leave home your Emergency fund is filled to where you want. My only other comment is around why you haven't mentioned investing in your employer's pension... Source: over 2 years ago
