Dad on FIRE

  Again a bit late on this one, took a few days off work before the kids started back at school. Finance update Breakdown for August: Pretty shocking month for performance in August, everything was down. In total down £15k for the month ISA down £2.5k Similar story with my  Pension I contributed £3k to my  GIA /easy access savings, this was also down. £600 into  Crypto  and it dropped like a stone, down £12k for the month 2024/25 tax year: Overall in the tax year I'm looking at +£22k, which considering I've contributed over £30k to ISA/SIPP/GIA/Crypto is not great! Hopefully I've just been buying them whilst they've all been on sale, and it's a good job I don't need to liquidate any of them now :)  With the budget at the end of October I'm keeping one eye on what is being floated.
