I Started Investing 6 Years Ago - Now I Can Retire At 50

from Making Money · host Damien Jordan & Timeyin Akerele from Most

One thing we've learned from interviewing hundreds of people about money is that the numbers are only part of the story. Today we’re speaking to Neil, better known as Neil Invests, not just about his portfolio, but the journey that got him there - from sleeping on his sister's floor and battling shame and depression, to building £175k in his ISA over 6 years and being planning to retire at 50.  Here’s the link to our compound interest calculator: https://makingmoney.email/compound-interest-calculator You can find Neil on Instagram and Youtube @neilinvests Listen to our episode with Toby here: https://pod.link/1674547187/episode/ZDBiOTRlMjQtZmFhZC0xMWVmLWE4NDktZmY0ZWEyMzBkMDJk 🤝 Want 1:1 financial help from us?

This is not financial advice. The reason it’s not financial advice is because it’s not tailored to you. We explain the principles of building wealth but if you want personalised advice, it’s worth speaking to a financial advisor. As with everything financial, please do your own research. We really encourage that because no one cares more about your money than you and if you learn the basics then it will change your life.
