315Financial targets 2025 - the mid-term summary
Hello dear community,
after not really being active for a few months, I thought I'd draw my first conclusions at the halfway point of my annual financial goals. A warning up front, the success so far is manageable to say the least 😙.
Before that, a few stats on the overall portfolio:
📌 YTD: approx. -5.33% as of today
📌 Shares/ETF: €12,150 invested
📌 $BTC (-0.1%) / $SOL (-0.07%) 2,500€ invested
Now let's check the targets:
🎯 Raise the portfolio to €70k
Phew, the orange man had something against it, currently unrealistic in view of the required performance and the investment volume still to come.
🎯Do more research, as it feels like I haven't done anything for 7-8 months in 2024
Up and down, sometimes yes, sometimes no... I'm working on it, let's put it this way.
🎯Focusing more on equities and not getting bogged down in the crypto bubble
Worked well so far, $SOL (-0.07%) Savings plan is now paused, focus is only on $BTC (-0.1%) . No other coins have been bought...
🎯Expanding my knowledge of basic financial topics, especially in the area of chart analysis and company data/earnings
Phew, mixed, started but never followed through...still have 6 months to go.
🎯Just listen to more financial podcasts
Works quite well, I actually listen to the usual suspects regularly
🎯Significantly increase the weighting of the MSCI World
Currently still far too little, but I'm working on it...
🎯The most important thing: to finally convince my better half to invest
Missed the maximum, there's less than before and not a cent has been invested 😆
What happens next?
I have currently suspended a large part of the savings plans on individual shares and continue to focus on $IWDA (-0.9%) and $MEUD (-1.06%) . According to the current plan, around €6,000 will still be invested this year.
With this in mind, keep applying cream ☀

Get in on Cardano now?
Hi, so far I only have $SOL (-0.07%) in the portfolio and want to add another cryptocurrency... Do you think it would make sense to open a Cardano position now?
Or do you think I should rather build up a "core" with $BTC (-0.1%) build up?
Solana as well as Cardano or any other altcoins will most likely not bring you much joy in the long run.
THE crypto scaling in 2025?
$SOLX (+0.84%) was launched on the market yesterday from pre-sales and is already performing incredibly well without being listed on all platforms.
Due to the $ETH (-0.17%) and $SOL (-0.07%) ability of the token and the continuous expansion, I am hoping for real growth of 300%-500% by the end of the year.
Keep your fingers crossed for me🤑
Good luck with the Shitcoin anyway.
Retirement with...?
Hello everyone,
Do you think it's possible to retire early with the portfolio?
At...80?
I would like to get out of many stocks as soon as I am in the black and reinvest.
The plan is to get out of:
$BBAI (-2.59%) I would like to reduce my position and possibly wait for a new entry.
What is your opinion, what can you recommend?
- I am looking forward to your opinions.
Almost certainly not with your strategy. 😬
"Why XRP & Crypto Are Crashing Due to Israel-Iran War: Time to Buy!"
Crypto markets are bleeding! XRP, BTC, ETH, and alts are down due to escalating tensions between Israel and Iran. Israel’s recent airstrikes on Iran’s military & nuclear sites have spooked investors, driving them to safe-haven assets like gold. XRP dropped 7.17%, BTC fell below $104K, and over $1.1B in liquidations hit the market. Geopolitical fears are real, but this dip is a CLASSIC shakeout! Crypto thrives on volatility—historically, these moments are golden for buying low. XRP’s fundamentals remain strong with XRPL’s utility. Don’t panic—stack those coins now! #Crypto

Why are you actually investing?
I asked myself this question some time ago. Saving, investing, building up assets - all well and good. But what is it actually for? What is the goal?
At some point, the answer was clear to me: financial freedom.
Not because I never want to work again. On the contrary - I like working. But I don't want to have to anymore. I want to be able to decide for myself how I use my time without my income depending on it.
That's why I've opted for a clear focus on dividend ETFs. $TDIV (-0.87%)
$VHYL (-0.84%) decided on dividend ETFs.
They provide me with a regular, predictable income - a step towards independence. This cash flow currently allows me to work part-time and at the same time build a self-employment that is based on my interests - not on a fixed employment contract.
I am fully aware that if I were to invest purely rationally and with a focus on returns, e.g. only in the $VWRL (-1.12%) the path to absolute financial freedom might be shorter.
But let's be honest - who knows whether you will ever reach your goal? Health, life circumstances, fate - there is no guarantee for later.
So why not live a little more freedom today instead of putting everything off until "someday"?
My portfolio reflects precisely this conviction - long-term focus, but with ongoing benefits. And to be honest: I simply enjoy investing.
That's why, in addition to solid dividend payers, I also have a few positions for gambling $BATS (-0.36%)
$GOOGL (-0.81%) - Shitcoins $CHZ (-0.02%)
$MANA (+1.22%)
$SOL (-0.07%) included.
What do you think?
So I invest specifically in dividend etfs and shares and can decide each month whether the dividends paid are enough to quit my job.
I also have two children who will certainly be happy to have an additional monthly income later on.
