Spoiler: slight bragging rights.
After a few months of investing (I started as a beginner just before the Trump chaos, when the market was still overvalued), I reached my first milestone: over €10,000 invested.
Since the beginning, I have changed my strategy. I now take a long-term approach with a 70:30 split between ETFs and individual stocks. Within the ETFs, I hold 7% of my portfolio in $ERNX (+0.05%) for more stability. The percentage split is not quite optimal yet, but I will probably rebalance towards the end of the year.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I prefer $FWRG (+0.13%) over Vanguard because of the lower TER.
I'm the first person in my family who not only has enough money to invest, but has also become financially literate and uses the stock market at all. I'm quite proud of that.
If I continue to invest €1,000-1,500 every month (sometimes more), I could reach €20,000 by the end of the year. There are still a few larger expenses to come, but they shouldn't affect the amount set aside for investments too much.
If necessary, you are welcome to roast me.
