George - Investor £111k 🇬🇧

I lost my dad in 2024. That changed everything. I’m George, 32, an accountant from the UK 🇬🇧. After years of watching friends and family live paycheck to paycheck with no emergency fund, I decided I didn’t want that life for my family — especially now with my 1-year-old son. My current net worth is £115k. I started investing in 2017, and my goal is simple: grow it every year while still enjoying life — not just grinding. Money isn’t the end goal. Freedom, time with family, and peace of mind are. I want to set my son up for a stronger future. Inflation is quietly stealing our wealth, houses are getting further out of reach, and wages aren’t keeping up. ‘Playing Monopoly without investing is a guaranteed way to lose.’ I’m resetting my page to document my real journey to financial freedom — practical investments, useful tech, and lessons learned along the way. If you’re also trying to build a better future without sacrificing today, drop a 🔥 or comment “Let’s go” below. Welcome to the journey.

@GMFinX @2147mill I like you, George

£10,000 sitting in a savings account. Here's the most tax efficient way to deploy it. Priority order: → 3 months expenses in easy access savings first. Non negotiable. → Remaining £6-7k straight into Stocks & Shares ISA. → Buy VWRP or VUAG. Global or US index fund. → If under 40: £4,000 into LISA first. Government adds £1,000 instantly. → Automate £200/month going forward. Never stop. What not to do: → Leave it in a current account earning nothing → Put it all in crypto → Wait for the perfect moment £10,000 invested today at 10%: → Worth £174,000 in 30 years. The best time to deploy it was yesterday. The second best time is today.

@Lin98201 Peaceful but green.

@GMFinX Gm, peaceful Sunday market so far

GM and Happy Sunday! Another green start to the day, seems like the market has been less volatile recently with just 2% swings. How is everyone today?

@FinTradesX GM Fin!

GM all ☕️ After a few busy weeks, does anyone else think it's quite nice when the market closes for the weekend?😅

@BoringUKMoney Following your journey Harry

Former crypto degenerate turned boring index fund investor. £41k in my Stocks ISA. Up £6,753 overall. No moonshots, just compounding. This account is my accountability partner. Nothing too extravagant. not financial advice

@WealthWithYou Which game? If it was my country yes

Would you pay $1,500 for 2 FIFA Cup tickets?

@MidlClassMoney Did you get suspended? I have never heard of this until now

Why do so many good and genuine accounts on FinX get suspended? I genuinely don’t understand.

@InvestsDad The ratio of verified / unverified is crazy high!

Just realised i forgot to add my stats on the below😅

@m9QD6L4IgW @QuietWealth_UK The side hustles must have been doing well and all gone into the investments

@QuietWealth_UK 28500 take home / year - 2400 rent = 26000. Let's say she saved 20k/year (the absolute bare minimum of spending), she worked at 35k for 5 years. Which job pays 35k at 17 years (or 30k at 17 and pay increase of 2k/year more or less)? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

A 22-year-old woman posted on Reddit this week. £35k salary, lives at home, £200/month rent. Side hustles in the evenings. Three years of relentless discipline. She hit £100,000 invested. A local news site picked up the story and the comments were brutal. "She had help." "Not realistic." "Must be nice." "Good for her, I guess." She didn't win the lottery or inherit money. She just saved and invested aggressively for three years while most people her age were spending it. The most interesting part of the story wasn't the £100,000. It was how many people were angry that someone else had managed it. Build quietly, the noise is always loudest from people who haven't started.

@ATaylorFPGA @QuietWealth_UK Why can’t we as a country lift each other up?

@QuietWealth_UK In the UK people love to pull down those who try. It saves them trying. Aspiration is the only poverty in the UK

@Al_Perring The angle doesn’t help but they should show it regardless

@GMFinX I dont know why we didn't but it is actually awfully close. Hard to call. The perspective makes it intuitively seem offside.

This looked offside in Switzerland vs Qatar. Wonder why we didn’t get to see the graphic to prove it was onside?

@fynnvestor Congrats mate

Passed 1,200 followers! 🎉 I appreciate every single one of you. I’m just a young construction worker sharing my honest investment journey and thoughts. The goal is financial freedom for me and my family. Let’s go for 1,500 now 💪

@finsightt If a pint went up 66% then it would be £4.65 It’s actually up 96%. My energy bill in £2020 was £54 a month and is now £123 a month. Absolutely crazy times

£20 in 2010 vs £20 today. Same note, very different shop. You’d now need about £33 to buy what £20 got you back then — UK prices are up roughly 66%. Flip it round and your £20 today is worth about £12 in 2010 money. A pint’s gone from around £2.80 to £5.50. A Freddo from 18p to nearly 40p, and smaller too. This isn’t a freak event. It’s just what money does sitting still — and why cash in a current account quietly goes backwards every year. The £20 didn’t change. The world around it did. This is why investing is a must.

@Peter_Mordechai Might end up losing 1-0 from this

@GMFinX This is daylight robbery. Fixing games already?

Markets in the green today, probably based on the speculation that the US vs Iran war is ending. A steady increase for bitcoin:native solana:So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112 sui:native

@TradingWithGuy Agreed, the memories are priceless

@GMFinX Love that! No amount of money can buy this brother!

Saturdays afternoons are for strolls with my son. Every week without fail, rain or shine we go out around the fields. Sometimes it’s best to switch off from the markets, even if just for a couple hours.

@PepeJesus117 Nice and quiet round here

@GMFinX Looks beautiful

@InvestsDad Reminds you why you are doing all this

@GMFinX That's what it is all about mate🙌
