@gray.area.finance: How to get financially free — Part 2 If you want to become financially free, here are four more numbers you need to know. Number one, take your annual income and multiply it by 25. That’s a rough target for how much you need invested to potentially replace your income using a 4% withdrawal rate. Number two, take your current savings and divide it by your annual expenses. That’s roughly how many years of your current lifestyle your savings could cover without another pay cheque. Number three, take your total debt and divide it by your annual income. The lower this number, the more of your income you can use to build wealth instead of paying debt. And number four, take every pay rise you get and invest at least 50% of the increase. That lets your lifestyle improve while making sure your wealth grows even faster. Financial freedom isn’t about becoming rich overnight. It’s about getting to the point where your money gives you choices.

Suggesting people should spend 5% of their salary on “guilt free spending” is terrible advice

Rent, bills etc for £1650? What world are you living in? Rent alone is £2200 for a 3 bed in London and that’s actually on the cheaper end

Average monthly take home is £2,000. Times by 0.55 is £1,100. Average rent around here is about £1,000. That leaves £100 for everything else. Your maths isn’t mathing.
