Love the videos I earn a basic wage from a supermarket and watch managers and staff turn up in fancy cars most likely on finance and these videos keep me pegged down to keep investing instead. :)
Takes a lot of courage to post your financial status online! Love the fact you provide value and 100% transparent. I hope you keep receiving dividends from your efforts
Hey Jubiar, I watch you videos now and then, this one deserves special credit, well done on your achievements and on your semi retirement. Keep at it! I myself am also a massive stocks and shares investor / trader but all within the ISA platform 😊
Well done Jubair! I like the fact you have spelled out all the sacrifices as well as the plus side. You have decided what's important and that's what you are focussed on. I agree food is always worth spending money on :-) keep going and good luck dude
This video is brilliant…. Love your honesty regarding hating working for someone else…. I couldn’t agree more, can’t wait till I can retire…. I’m much older than you but I only just discovered investing 😢…. Hopefully I can still retire a little earlier 😅
Definitely keep investing, it’s the only way to generational wealth for middle earners. Congrats on the semi retirement, enjoy your life bit your priorities may change as you get older.the no home ownership is concerning, are you really going to be renting in your 80s etc
Love this update! Well done you! You've clearly invested very aggressively and accumulated a great nest egg. You're 8% growth assumption feels a little ambitious though? Credit Suisse (RIP!) used to publish different asset returns and they pegged after inflation returns for global equities over the long term at about 5% so might be worth running a few different scenarios Those food snaps look fantastic - do you have a pizza oven for those pizzas? I keep weighing up if its worth it for me, would love to hear your thoughts if you have one. I've taken about a year off from work and loved it, even managed to massively grow my wealth in that time, then if you go back into the work place (i'm considering it at the moment) you're still set in the background. Best of luck mate. Hope you're enjoying scotland!
Thanks Chaz! I do think that 8% is pretty optimistic, my main thing has always been cashflow though, so income will always be important (even though it will be away from traditional employment for now). No pizza oven actually, my wife just uses a normal gas oven, works pretty well still. I'd love one of those pizza ovens eventually, the one's that make a pizza in minute. You're doing really well on your investments btw, and obviously you understand the risks!
@@Dr.JubairsFinance Those pizzas looked so good for a normal oven! I looked into building myself a proper wood fired one but it can get pretty pricey! I clearly just need a better pizza recipe
Inspiring Jubair! Love that you have been able to achieve this goal. The sacrifice section was super eye opening, but I have a feeling you're gonna grow so much more that you won't even need to consider "sacrifices" soon haha. p.s. the food pics looked so good.
I’m 38 but I have had my personal struggles never too late as they say! I might not be a millionaire but I will set up all my investments for my little princess to live her best life when I am long gone.
@@Dr.JubairsFinance I’ll see you in the next videooooooo! PS Don’t delete your video! Interested to know which companies you have invested in? Do you share your pie on T212? A video on that would be fab!
@@Dr.JubairsFinance ah okay do you also invest in a Sipp as well ? I understand ISA comes with the flexibility so you can withdraw at any time it’s needed
I came on here to pick holes in your video and cry about privilege but I realised I was just jealous, because I don't like being told what to do and crave mental freedom. Good luck to you and I hope it all works out
Wouldn't be a bad idea to just buy a small 2 up 2 down just to live for free, you can sell it once its paid for, and should get your money back if you don't wreck it
Thanks a bunch! I guess everything is a mindstate, it helps sometimes to name it different things to make life easier to deal with. Not quite there yet with full financial freedom.
@@Dr.JubairsFinance Thanks, it seems that with free currency conversion with Revolut, it would be a no brainer, and I think the currency is quite cheap right now. However I am a complete NOOB. Thank for replying :-)
Started with putting little amount in to ..... iitu ...vuag .....vukg would I be good dumping aload off money in there is there any other recommendations
Mate why dont you move abroad? why stay in the UK? You're doing so well compared to others. I think staying in the UK will only eat at your wealth. Why not go to dubai or something?
well done! question, how much tax do you pay on your stocks and shares isa with trading 212 for exceeding the 20,000 annual limit? just something that I've been thinking about recently as I'm not too sure, thanks!
You can't deposit more than 20k in an ISA each tax year, otherwise I think it will be flagged by HMRC. Anything outside of ISA is taxed as on their website so you get £3k capital gains allowance and £500 dividends allowance and then taxed on your income.
Do you prefer ftse all world over the s&p500? I understand its more diversified, but the s&p is 60% of the all world if I’m right and if something did go wrong with the US market then surely there are much bigger problems at play
A really interesting video. Am I correct in surmising that your parents were very frugal with pocket money, gifts etc? Was that what put you on this pathway?
Thank you, and nice highland cow btw. I grew up in a very deprived place in London, so there wasn't that much money, but people still thrived, I guess it gives a unique perspective because it's London, there's a lot of nice and rich rich there too.
semi retired - but still renting. You aren't retiring or anything like it until you've secured a roof over your head. This is why lots of people only start investing after they pay off their mortgage. The rent culture in England is weird. Nor do I believe you are making this amount of money from UA-cam.
Hey, I can't really say as I don't know your personal circumstances, it's always a lot to do with luck. I don't see why you can't be in a similar position if you start young!
@@Dr.JubairsFinance I'm a tad concerned with October Budget and what it'll mean for people like us. Hearing rumours of an ISA cap at 100k and scared what it would mean. Any thoughts?
@@Dr.JubairsFinance I'm close to the 100k already on my S&S ISA, so I guess I could look to max my partners, then focus on GIA accounts as I wouldn't pay until i sold and then hope Labour go back on the cap to win votes and or another Party get voted in and undo that cap. I really don't see why a CAP would be a smart idea, i know it'll generate TAX for them but it's sure way to pee off your voters but then again labour has always been for the poor person in my opinion.
@@Dr.JubairsFinance Don't disagree, but how do you feel about paying rent to pay for someone else's property? A conundrum for sure!! Inspirational video Jubair.. well done... 👍
I don't have an issue with paying for someone elses property, it's a choice they make to rent it out. Plus ownership is always a weird thing where nobody owns anything. I could discuss this forever and the ethics behind it haha.
Investments are supposed to grow past inflation. £9k in 30 years will still be worth thousands in today's money. Either way, I do think that working to achieve a higher income is always useful.
Very confusing, almost click-baiting title. You’re using the future value of your assets to say you’re semi-retired, while working and “fully” depending on that work for your monthly income. Anyone can do that and say they’re semi-retired today using the future value of their assets/stocks/pension. You’re semi-retired when you can only work part time and any additional income can come from your passive investments and assets, and after watching this video, you aren’t there yet. I get that you enjoy creating content and it doesn’t feel like a job but truth is you can’t afford not to cos your monthly income depends on it. I do however acknowledge that you have achieved a lot at 30 so kudos on that, but these clickbaiting titles aren’t it Dr Jubair
@@Dr.JubairsFinance still not semi-retired. Does that mean any self-employed person can say they’re semi-retired? You cannot afford NOT to work, even if you say you enjoy creating content, you need to cause that’s where your monthly income comes from. Of course semi-retired at 30 does get more views!
@@yasminaziz8761 exactly that, click bait as not entirely true. Anyway. I would have watched it as I do his videos so it was pointless and the title as I said inaccurate/deceptive
I watched a video where you spoke about moving ISA from a previous year e.g. a fixed rate isa. Can you please let us know if we move that money, can we then buy shares with that money from previous year ? Thanks and great video by the way !
I spoke about moving a stocks and shares ISA, never had a cash ISA. But if you move from a cash ISA to a stocks ISA, yes you can buy shares with that money. Thanks for watching!

Well done Jubair. I would say you've achieved financial freedom aged 30 rather than being semi retired. Either way, I'd swap you.

Whats youre take on buying a House?
Could be okay, if you wish to say there for a very long time! But renting is very flexible
You seem to know alot about Trading 212. Just a quick question.... is it worth keeping my cash as Hungarian Forint as its paying 7% right now.
Honestly, I can't give financial advice. But I still wouldn't try gaining in foreign currencies, unless you spend in that currency.

Finance youtubers make bank. Such a great niche to be in for the add revenue. Do you have a private pension as well? is it included in the 120k?
No private pension. Getting into a niche just for money rarely works out, and the revenue is never guaranteed. The 120k is just in shares.
