I'm a UK blogger sharing my journey to financial independence and post-FI fulfillment. I'm a working parent, often fascinated with the world. My blog covers personal development and working towards financial freedom. I stay anonymous so that I can be open about my numbers. If anything I write sparks your interest, I'd love to hear from you!

Four months into Life 1.2: The finance update

Feb 4, 2022Feb 5, 2022 Firelite

In a way, this feels like a 'big' update, but only because it's been on my mental to-do list for weeks now (sorry), and I feel like I need something 'big' to say! Essentially, I keep putting barriers in the way, so I'm just gonna type and get it out there! I've gone and done… Continue reading Four months into Life 1.2: The finance update

Three weeks into Life 1.2: What I’ve learned so far

Sep 23, 2021 Firelite

Right now Hi All! So, since I last wrote, my request to go part-time (0.5fte) was granted and I’ve dipped my toes into the water of part-timeness! Three weeks, to be precise, though part of the first week was on holiday (in London and Brighton) and work’s been weird and work-busy this week as it’s… Continue reading Three weeks into Life 1.2: What I’ve learned so far

Still here, and on the Cusp of “partial FIRE”?

Jun 14, 2021Jun 14, 2021 Firelite

I don't really know how it got through January then so far into 2021 without me posting. Not much actually changed for me, and I certainly MEANT to post a few times. I recall having a 1.5 year reflection planned for January but I can't find it for the life of me. Anyway, I guess… Continue reading Still here, and on the Cusp of “partial FIRE”?

Financial independence update: December 2020

Dec 26, 2020Dec 27, 2020 Firelite

Christmas eve brunch - Early outing of the sprouts, my fave veg! I really do hope you all had a lovely Christmas as I have. It's been different, but really nice nonetheless. Gone were my work papers off the dining table. I downed tools and used it as a dining table (oh, the audacity!) for… Continue reading Financial independence update: December 2020

Financial independence update: November 2020

Dec 6, 2020 Firelite

Wanting financial freedom amidst a time of low freedom I'm starting to think that one day I'll look back at this humble finance/navel-gazing blog as the best documentation of my life through Covid times. Not because it's particularly insightful, but in the midst of it, it's quite easy to forget that we are living in… Continue reading Financial independence update: November 2020

Financial Independence update: October 2020

Nov 8, 2020 Firelite

Working on that pumpkin harvest As we're in the first weekend of Lockdown II, I already look back at October with ghoulish nostalgia. I'm sure I'm not the only one. We were so close to going abroad as the Canaries came off the quarantine list as we hit half-term. Now I'm realising that life won't… Continue reading Financial Independence update: October 2020

Financial Independence update: September 2020

Oct 5, 2020Dec 27, 2020 Firelite

Well, I was wrong. Turns out we did manage to get Junior tested for Covid and, with a negative result, resumed school life after a week at home. Phew! It’s not a week I’ll forget soon though. Me trying to create online learning materials (which takes bloody ages), and Mr Firelite, with a Major Project… Continue reading Financial Independence update: September 2020

Financial independence update: August 2020

Sep 17, 2020 Firelite

This is where I got up to with my month-end update before work got busy pre-start of the academic year, Firelite Junior started school (shorter day than at nursery) and just as we were thinking that we might even have found a childminder, Junior came down with a bad cough! While said cough has improved… Continue reading Financial independence update: August 2020

My FI journey one year on: How did I do?

Sep 5, 2020Sep 5, 2020 Firelite

At the end of July last year fresh from off the first index funds boat I decided to start a blog charting my financial journey into territories unknown to me. So one year on, how's it going? Well, the blog itself has its peaks and troughs (yes, we're at a trough), but it's great seeing… Continue reading My FI journey one year on: How did I do?

Financial Independence update: July 2020

Jul 30, 2020Jul 30, 2020 Firelite

This photo is our first journey outside of our region taken a couple of weekends ago. It marks our move onto the terra firma of ‘the new normal’. This month I also reach this blog's One Year Milestone! Whoo-hoo. I’ll reflect on the bigger picture stuff in the year reflection to follow soon, but hope… Continue reading Financial Independence update: July 2020
