How do you deal with the fact that the usual daily fluctuations in your portfolio (would) exceed your monthly income?


Does that do anything to your work ethic? Or would it do something to it?


Tell me about it, I'd be interested. 👍

It doesn't matter at all 🤷🏼‍♂️
My salary doesn't fluctuate that much and even if the fluctuations should exceed my monthly salary, I know at the same time what multiples must be in the deposit. 😉

Once the money has been invested, my attitude to it somehow changes and it suddenly no longer seems real, more like play money. Maybe it's also in the back of my mind that it can disappear at any time. If the money ends up in the salary account, on the other hand, it is very real and has more subjective weight than the same amount in the portfolio or as profit/loss from the portfolio. In this respect, it has no influence on work morale. Because you earn the more important money at work. Idiotic, of course.

That leaves me absolutely cold. I keep noticing that friends and colleagues panic as soon as prices start to fluctuate more and then, in the worst case, sell immediately. I think that's why the market reacts the way it does reagiert🤷‍♂️

It's the same for me, but emotions only really come up when I'm in the black😂

This is the case for me and doesn't change my work ethic at work.

It has no effect on my work ethic. The only thing I notice is that when my salary increases rapidly by a factor of x in a very short period of time, I look at the depot much more often than usual

Well, because you can pay in 1k when you're working and have to take 1k out when you're not working. Besides, you don't just go to work for the money, but also for a regular work routine, conversations with colleagues, etc.

As I'm currently at almost 50% crypto in my portfolio, it actually does. But I don't know why it should affect my work ethic.

Definitely both up and down, but only for a few moments at a time 😊
