[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1089635, member: 74121"] I'd never invest in anything more risky than a DOW tracker or something (actually, I'd never even do that). You can in theory make a comparable amount much more safely by investing in other people's offset mortgages (but that relies on massive trust and banks did take steps to tighten up on that a bit). Property is another obvious option but then govenments may take an unpredictable step (such as restricting Air BnB, as is being mooted in Edinburgh) and that could slump the market. If it's a life of leisure you are looking for then 'get rich quick' should be off the menu because we are fortunate enough to live in times when there are options like this below (again not one I take but it does appear sound). [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/financial-independence-retire-early-fire.asp[/URL] Essentially, if you can save 25x your annual estimated expenditure you can stop working if you are happy to reduce your carbon footprint and live frugally. I like to keep my eye in with a job but if anyone is finding the 5 day week a grind and is in a fortunate enough position financially then the whole acceptance of part time working by employers (essentially for maternity purposes) has opened the door if you do decide that life is too short to continue waiting for the mythical 4 day working to arrive.
