Roasting someone or something means delivering a sharp, humorous insult—a joke that lightly (or sometimes brutally) mocks a person, idea, or object in a way meant to entertain others. The key is that the “burn” is intentional, witty, and usually exaggerated.

🔥 Core Definition

Roasting is playful or harsh teasing, often done publicly, where the goal is to embarrass the target a little for comedic effect. It’s not meant to be taken as literal hostility—though tone and context matter.

The three options for your retirement fund.

Buy an annuity, not a option for this blog as you have to surrender your capital.

Grow your Snowball and live off the dividends, with the intention of never selling any shares to raise cash.

Use the 4% Rule.

The SNOWBALL will have at least 11k to re-invest back into the SNOWBALL

The SNOWBALL has a comparison share VWRP, the comparison being that you use the ETF for withdrawing 4% (inflation linked).

The current value of VWRP is £169,226, not too shabby.

The SNOWBALL current income 11k.

VWRP income using the 4% rule £6,769

If we now compound for ten years, the SNOWBALL should have income of 22k, 22% pa.

To receive 22k of income from VWRP the total would need to be 550k.

GL with that luck.

Note anyone joining in a bull market nearer to the end than the beginning is likely to lose money.
