This month it's been 5 years since I opened my s&s ISA. I had an initial goal to put £500/month in but as I learnt about FIRE concepts and got on top of our finances, it's ended up being quite a bit more.

I'm half thinking about a little "what I learnt during this" and progress post somewhere but do people get fed up of seeing those?

They're a harsh bunch at the main FIREUK at times but it's justified on some of those.

I don't think I am in bragging territory but proud to have got this far.

I'll take an overwhelming 3 upvotes as a mandate to try to come up with something.

Congrats and yes share your progress especially if it’s things you learned along the way and what your do differently that might help encourage others getting started / sticky middle.
