“We are both at a point where we are just sick of it”
Nick (57) and Dee (55) had a clear goal: Live a life of adventure.
CLIENT QUOTE
“We did our research and booked several consultations, but most felt formulaic—advisors reading from a script with no real effort to understand our specific situation. Then we found a small UK based firm called First Sentinel Wealth [now Black Ink] that genuinely listened to the specifics of what we were trying to achieve, and from that, instead of a template, our adviser helped us identify the levers we could pull”.
THE PROBLEM
Their retirement forecast had a 31% chance of success. In most scenarios, they ran out of money in their 60s.
WHAT WE DID
We went through everything — pensions, ISAs, cash, property. We restructured, optimised for tax, contributions, withdrawals and returns. No stone unturned.
THE OUTCOME
18 months later: 86% chance of success. We were confident to give retirement the green light. Nick and Dee handed in their notices. They’re travelling the world — and blogging about it.
