And not having to work anymore, just spending my savings and doing stuff I like

Same.
Unfortunately they keep telling me I need to plough ever more into pension funds that don’t perform as well as they need to !

@Picklebobble2 I made 80% returns in the last 7 months. Sure, there are many more who lose than those who make money consistently, but there sure is a method to it.
If you gamble, you'll probably lose most of what you invest. Equities can have the best return in terms of risk. Most people don't exactly invest. They speculate, based on rumours and trends

Saying that the stock market hasn't given positive returns in the last 20 years and assuming that will continue is like saying the UK will not continue with economic growth and development.

The point is that after a certain age, you have to make your money work for you. Compounding will make you far richer than you ever will be just working a 9-5

@Nomad7 And statistically you’d get better returns on a day at the track !

Way too many gamblers and sharks out there

@Picklebobble2 I tell you once again, this isn't true

I'm not speaking of trading, but buying a stock based on fundamentals is like buying a house when real estate is down and waiting for the market to realize its true value

Unfortunately, people who do not invest have either lost money or have seen enough people lose money to never bet themselves. But that doesn't validate the statement that you're more likely to make returns betting on racehorses

I just hope you're healthy. Arthritis pain 24/7 is no fun!

How about just looking forward to retirement. People are doing that younger and younger.

Do what you like right now.

@SimplyLogicalDiscipline if only I could lol. I have to earn a living somehow
@somedude15 human nature 😆, old people want to be young again and you want to be old.

It doesn't work that way. Unless you already have enough, you need to earn money to sustain yourself rn and save enough to retire. You should explore and find something you're good at, that you like, something that makes you good money and stick to that
