Hello Getquin Community 🙋♂️
Short introduction:
I am Adrian, 29 years young, married and come from the beautiful Schwabenländle.
Professionally, I work in nursing and currently work as a residential area manager. Currently, I earn 2,600 € net, usually come through supplements but still about 100 € on top. For two months, I have also started a one-year training course to become a care service manager (the costs for this are covered by my employer).
How did I come to invest:
For a long time, I wasn't really interested in my personal finances. If there was money left over at the end of the month, it was just put into a savings account and that was it. Then, at the beginning of 2019, I had an overpriced (which I didn't know until later) fund savings plan pushed on me by my bank advisor at the time. At the latest when it was then so far that I was allowed to squeeze 10 € account maintenance fee per month to the Kreissparkasse, it was clear to me that I had to act. I then asked my friends which banks they could recommend to me. That's how I quickly came across ING. From then on, I began to deal more with my finances. Through two of my friends, my interest in investments was finally awakened.
My start:
At the end of 2020, I started investing with small sums. Without a precise strategy, I set up a small savings plan on TR. Two sector ETFs were saved and any hype stocks (with the hope of the quick mark) were bought. I have largely learned from the initial mistakes...
Strategy/goal:
Etfs:
I am following a core-satellite strategy.
The core should be my two Etfs $VWCE (+0,26 %) and $IUSN (-0,02 %) form the core. These run with the ING with 250€ and 50€ in the savings plan. With the Etf weighting I'm still not so satisfied. Here I aim at the 50%. My goal is to save the Etfs until retirement and if possible to make individual purchases at attractive prices. With my third Etf $QDV5 (-1,61 %) of which I am basically convinced, to be honest I don't really know what to do. On the one hand, I would like to keep it with 25€-50€ monthly, because I see strong growth potential in India in the next few years and thus increase the emerging market share in the portfolio. On the other hand, I would prefer to shift it into the $VWCE (+0,26 %) to have it as simple as possible and to be out of the sector ETFs.
Stocks:
My stock portfolio is with TR. Savings plans are running there and individual purchases are made every now and then. The following stocks have a 20€ savings plan: $MSFT (+0,51 %)
$V (+0,21 %)
$JNJ (+0,65 %)
$NOVO B
$FRE (+0,05 %)
$ULVR (-1,85 %)
$KO (+0,23 %)
$PG (+0,76 %)
$DLR (+0,58 %)
$MPW (+0,42 %)
$RSG (+0,76 %)
Therefore, the partially still very low weighting and no, there is no more savings plan to be added.
The goal of my stock portfolio is to build up a small but fine cash flow. Since I am a realist, I do not have the utopian goal to become completely financially free. However, I find the thought quite nice to pay at some point, for example, the utilities, the vacation or the gym. Currently, there are also one or the other speculative value in the portfolio (also the small crypto share). But I can live well with the risk. In 2023, I'm aiming for the €500 dividend.
On my shortlist are currently still:
$BLK
$IBE (+0,78 %)
$DHR (+0,21 %)
$STAG (+0,4 %)
As a depot upper limit I have set myself 25 values, because otherwise I lose the overview.
That's it now I think. Now I am curious about your opinion. 👍🏻
