£125 a month could build £39,039 yearly passive income

The median UK salary of £39,039 annually could potentially be replaced through a passive income strategy. An investor could reach a £780,780 portfolio value within 32 years, by starting with £20,000 and contributing £125 each month. This plan assumes a 5% yearly rise in both dividends and share values, which are then reinvested tax-free inside an ISA.
