Today I dug deep into my savings box and put €10,000 aside. Not for vacations, not for the car - but for additional purchases.

Since I joined the company in April, shares such as $NVDA (-0,88 %) and $AVGO (-0,27 %) have already performed strongly - in some cases up over 70 %. Brilliant, but that's exactly why I'm not touching them at the moment. Buying at all-time highs? Not my style.

Nobody is currently expecting a major stock market earthquake, but anyone who knows history knows that September has often been the month of panic selling - and of the best entries.

The €10,000 is currently parked in the iShares € Ultrashort Bond ETF (ISIN: IE000RHY0R04) - delivers a return of around 3.3% p.a., is available daily and currently yields more than any overnight money.

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 (-0,04 %) 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 (-0,54 %) 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.
