What else has happened?

As announced, I asked the tax office to recalculate the advance payments. This was done and fortunately I no longer have to pay anything in advance.

If things go well, I'll even get some money back next year.

The bill for the car has also arrived and amounts to €1500. But that really pays for everything.

My nest egg has melted down to €900 and now I have to build it up again. Once again, the target is €10,000.

I was on vacation in Egypt from the end of September until last weekend. As always, it was super nice and just pure relaxation.

🥅 Destinations 2025:

Deposit of €10,000 and thus a custody account volume in the share portfolio of ~€73,000

Target achievement at the end of September 2025: 69.19%

👋 Introduction & background

Hey everyone!

I'm 33, married and dad to two small children (18 months and 2 months old). I've been working in the automotive industry since 2011 and in management consulting since 2019. ⚙️🚗💼

My wife is an engineer and also works in the automotive industry. 👩‍🔧🚗

I've been with getquin since 2022, but so far I've been reading along rather than actively posting. 👀

My wife is currently on parental leave and receives parental allowance. I will go on parental leave in Q2 2026 (also with parental allowance), then she will start working again. This means that only one of us will receive a full salary until the end of 2026 - but we'll still be sticking to our savings and investment quota. 👶💶

💰 Current status:

A good mid-six-figure amount has already been saved in our custody accounts. 📈

👶 Children & investments

For each child, we invested €10,000 in the Vanguard FTSE All World ($VWRL) (+0,61%) invested. In addition, each child receives €150 per month in the same ETF - via junior custody accounts at ING. 📊

💍 My wife's investments

She invests monthly:

- 🌎 500 € in the MSCI World ($XDWL) (+0,66%)

- 💸 500 € in the Vanguard FTSE All World High Dividend ($VHYL) (+0,27%)

📈 My investment strategy

Long-term, diversified and with a focus on cash flow & wealth accumulation.

🏘️ Real estate strategy

We live in our own home and own a rental apartment that pays for itself. ✅

Further real estate purchases are planned. 🏡📈

🎯 Target (15-20 years)

Financial freedom - with the option of part-time or complete independence from employment. Focus on more time for family, projects and quality of life. ✨

How do you structure your portfolios? What is your strategy and what are your long-term goals?

I look forward to the exchange!

Here's another little update on my hybrid portfolio!

The strategy is still the same as it has been since the beginning of my Journey🤝Growth and Dividends📈

I plan to buy the following stocks with my next salary:

  $UNP (+0,57%)

At $KR (-1,67%) I bought a little more - solid replenishment for the portfolio.

How are you using today's dip?

Are you buying more or just sitting back and relaxing?

I'm definitely going to treat myself to an after-work drink🍺 Red figures don't stop me from investing.😜
