Lovely to take the time to write in such detail.
You're welcome. As for FIRE there are numerous websites and blogs as doubtless you have found. If you want a book, I found Enough by Paul Armson easily digestible and is FIRE orientated.
http://site.iugaza.edu.ps/wdaya/file...all-Street.pdf is on my list of books to read, free pdf from link.
Monevator is a popular FIRE blogger.
I highly recommend the Vlogger Pensioncraft on youtube. His dissection and explanation of various methods of self investing are highly regarded. Covers current topics and basic principles every Saturday. Saved me from losing a lot of money a fortnight ago.
https://www.firecalc.com/ is a powerful modelling tool for retirement planning. It is US orientated, but still stands for UK calcs.
Hope this helps.
