In 2020, I put £100 into the stock market for the first time. Not £1,000. Not £10,000. One hundred pounds. Money I was willing to lose. Money I used to understand what investing actually felt like.
That £100 changed everything. Not because of the returns, but because it broke the barrier. I learned that investing wasn’t a complicated game for rich people. It was a way to build wealth slowly, steadily, over time. And once I’d started, I kept going.
