What are the upfront costs of buying a flat beyond deposit and stamp tax? Trying to figure out if I can afford to buy. I’m 37 and don’t want to be paying rent in retirement.

Curious about net worth milestones. How long did it take you to go from 100k - 1m? What was your “story” (income/savings rate/asset allocation)? I realize many probably achieved this in the bull market we’ve been in, but still curious.

Have read a lot of chatter about US not allowing exports of raw materials for vaccines being a problem. These raw materials do not impact Covishield or Covaxin, so not sure how it is a problem. These are only needed for the yet to be tested Novovax. Plus I feel vaccines will not help with the immediate crisis - there is no way we can vaccinate 600million people in time. A March 2020 style lockdown is the only real solution in my opinion to deal with this immediate crisis.
