I must to admit, the market did not favours to me, and I just noticed that I am now at the same point as I was on December 2019, in terms of total net wealth. I hit a small jackpot with crypto, but I was a bit greedy, and I did not take back enough profit, and then the bear market came and everything went down from the 300% profit increase back to the initial values. I do not regret this, but I hope I will do better on the next crypto bull market, whenever this one will come (2025-2026?). Shares and mutual funds, I am down to £2097, hope to do some crazy move and reach 10K until the end of the year, but before that, I need to biuld a 20K cash reserve in the bank account (Santander is paying 1.75% interest for up to 20K so I plan to keep it in there). I have also started a saving account on Santander, where they offer 2.75% interest for up to one year. I have £800/£2400 in there, with the limit being £200 pain onto account per month. This will be the cash reserve, and after that I start to build my shares and mutual funds, on my AJ Bell account ( £10K to start) and Freetrade account (they got zero fees and individual shares to pick, even fractions of them, I go for £1000 here to start with it), and over the next few years the aim will be to have 100K in funds, and 10K individual shares.

Cash: £2500 (TSB) £1135 (Santander)
