You don't need
a head start.
I came to investing the long way round, with no finance background and no head start, just patience, discipline, and a lot of reading.
How I got here
Where I started
First in music, then the corporate ladder, worn down by how much of my pay went in tax.
First share, 2014
After lots of reading and research shifted how I saw money, I got started.
Getting serious, 2017
£5,000, a rough plan, putting what I'd learnt into practice and optimising as I went.
Where I am now
A patient, mid to long-term investor, using a structured and proven framework.
I keep things simple and let time and discipline do the work. I am not a financial adviser, I am not regulated, and I never worked in the City. Nothing I write is personal advice, just the honest guide I wish I had had at the start.
“The name, The ISA Millionaire, describes a destination this approach can lead an ordinary, disciplined investor towards over many years. It is what becomes possible when you give a sensible plan enough time.”
The book
The ISA Millionaire: The Way In is available now, and sets the whole journey out in order. It is the first of more to come.
If you can't wait to get stuck in, there are lots of articles here. Explore by topic:
I will always be straight with you. Investing carries real risk, the value of investments can fall as well as rise, and anyone promising guaranteed returns is not being honest.
Read about the bookI hope you enjoy your journey to financial freedom.
