I Invested £1 a Day on Trading 212 for 1 Year (The Results)

One year ago I set up a single investment on Trading 212, hit go, and never touched it again. £1 a day. Every single day. Automatically invested into one global ETF. Today — exactly 12 months later — I'm showing you the real numbers: how much I put in, what it's worth now, my actual return, and then I run the maths to find out whether £1 a day is genuinely on track to reach £1 million... and by when. The last time I ran these calculations the answer was 15 years. With a full year of real data, the number changed — and I wasn't expecting it. No hype. No shortcuts. Just a normal investor following the four rules properly and showing you exactly what happened, in pounds and pence.
