First time above 6 figures
A 30/33 couple modelled to retire at 50: maxing both ISA allowances lifts sustainable household income from £75k to £104k/yr in today’s money — roughly double their current spend, inflation-adjusted through to 90.

Am I on track — anything I should change?
Retire-at-40/45/50 scenarios returned £57k, £89k and £133k/yr sustainable income. Against £40k of spending: “even if your career ended tomorrow you’d maintain your standard of living forever.”

Too late to FIRE — next best thing?
At 45 with £120k saved, retiring at 60 models to £43k/yr and at 67 to £73k/yr sustainable income: “you’re not late to the game — you’re just not going to FIRE at 50, which is a different thing entirely.”

A sanity check of my expectations
A £1.25m target turned out to be over-engineered: £1.02m at 57 already supports ~£50k/yr to 90, slightly above current take-home. The £2m “ideal” was realistically a retire-at-62 outcome.

Does this stack up?
With £660k pension, £440k S&S ISA and a £160k offset (net £35k cash after the mortgage), retiring at 50 to 90 models to ~£55k/yr net sustainable income — comfortably above the £40k target. “You’re FU.”
