Resigning to work seems like a long way to go, but it’s getting closer every day. Like many people, I use stocks and ISAs to build tax-free wealth that would help me retire.
But how lu can such an approach be?
It explains by explaining some of the key factors that determine the answer: time frame, investment amount, returns.

Long time slots are friends of investors
I hope that the longer someone makes regular investments, the better their stock and the ultimate wealth generation chances of stock and stock.
A longer period means a monthly (or weekly) contribution. And investment means more time to prove their value.
Today’s 35-year-old has around 32 years of working life before the planned future state retirement age of 67. Financially savvy investors may be able to leave much earlier, but in this case it will be 32 years.
I’m investing now to benefit from retirement
The amount invested is also important. In this example, we use a monthly donation of £500.
This is £6,000 a year. It is significantly below most people’s annual shares and shares the ISA contribution limit.
Everyone’s financial situation is different. I think it’s important to be realistic about how much ISA has. That may not be the same amount each month for some people.
Find the stock to buy
The third variable is the combined annual growth rate (CAGR) of portfolio values.
If it’s 5%, then at 67 the investor in this example has an ISA of over £462,000. If the CAGR is 10%, today’s 35-year-old child will retire with an ISA of over £1.2 million.
In other words, the higher the CAGR, the greater the long-term return.
CAGRs can come from dividends, stock price growth, or a combination of both. However, if the stock is being sold at a lower cost than its original cost, it could be reduced due to a decline in stock prices.
Another potential negative impact on CAGR is the cost and fees of the ISA. Over the decades, these costs can consume a lot of value, so choosing the right stock and shared ISA is important.
Set realistic assumptions
A 10% CAGR may not be that challenging, but in reality it is.
But if someone is careful to only cram ISAs into high quality companies that have bought at attractive stock prices, I think it is possible.
I think investors should consider it at this point Gregs (LSE: GRG).
Already there’s a lot of momentum and gained 27% since last month. But that still appears to me underestimate from a long-term perspective.
This week’s trading updates have created a positive picture of current and expected transactions. With a large, growing network of shops, a fairly regular customer base, unique items and strong brands, I think Greggs’ proven business model will be powerful.
But while recent rise in wage costs that manage inflation and recent increases in wage costs can undermine profits, a sunny summer can undermine consumer enthusiasm for heavy pastries.
However, in terms of balance, I think the share is a potentially very tasty bargain, so I recently bought a few.
