Build a 10-Year Wealth Plan on a Median Income
No windfall, no six-figure salary, just a median income and a decade. This builds a ten-year wealth plan grounded in real UK personal finance, working from your current position rather than a fantasy one. It suits anyone who assumes wealth-building is only for high earners. You get a staged plan that turns an ordinary income into meaningful progress.
<context>
Your annual take-home income is approximately {ANNUAL_INCOME}. You are [age]. Your current financial position: [describe: e.g. debt-free with small savings / some debt / no savings / contributing to a workplace pension]. You want to build meaningful wealth over 10 years without a high income or a windfall.

<task>
**Design a 10-year wealth-building plan** grounded in realistic UK personal finance:
1. Define wealth building: the sequence (debt-free → emergency fund → pension maximisation → investing)
2. Calculate realistic projections for your income level using compound growth assumptions
3. Prioritise the financial steps in your specific situation for years 1-2, 3-5, and 6-10
4. Explain the UK tax-efficient wrappers available to you: ISA, pension, LISA (if eligible)
5. Identify the three biggest mistakes that derail people at your income level from building wealth
</task>
<output_format>
- Wealth building sequence (numbered, with rationale for the order)
- 10-year projection (simplified: annual contributions × assumed growth → projected pot)
- Three-phase priority plan: Years 1-2 | 3-5 | 6-10
- Tax wrapper comparison (table: Wrapper | Annual limit | Tax benefit | Best for)
- Three derailment mistakes (bullets with preventive action)
