Hi all,
I’m 26, working a grad job in London, and currently living with my parents, not paying bills or rent.
I’ve managed to save about £32k total split between a LISA and an ISA.
No property yet, no dependents. Student loan still outstanding. Living at home has obviously helped me save faster, but I’m trying to sanity-check where I’m at compared to others my age and whether I’m using this money sensibly.
Main questions:
- Is £32k at 26 considered “on track”, ahead, or behind in the UK?
- Does it make more sense to keep prioritising ISA/LISA, or should I be thinking about something else (e.g. pension, moving out, etc.)?
- Any obvious mistakes or missed opportunities people in a similar position usually make?
Not looking for flexing or doomposting—just want a reality check and some perspective.
Thanks.
EDIT: I am on 40K per annum salary, pension is quite low 3k so far, I save a bit more than 1000 per month, my take home is 2.4k after taxes and student loan
