Now almost a month in... time for a first summary

First of all:


Thank you for the warm welcome to the getquin community!


Unfortunately, I did not read the HowTo:Portfolio feedback on GetQuin from @DonkeyInvestor

for a detailed presentation only later and this time I'm trying to write in more detail than the first time and to substantiate the decisions I made in order to possibly receive even more precise feedback from the community. 💛


My personal goal is to become completely debt-free and at the same time start steadily building up assets 📈to improve my private pension provision in 2026. I am expressly prepared to take a higher risk in the first year of my investment and am therefore trying out almost everything.


This year, I would like to operate according to the conscious principle of "set and forget" and consciously review my strategy at the end of 2026 between the holidays and adjust it if necessary.


Instead of "keep it simple", it's more likely to be "overenginerring."


I see your numerous tips as the reason for this, for which I would like to thank you again at

@Epi
@Gehebeltes-EFH
@Stullen-Portfolio

@Metis
@Wealth-Accelerator

@Multibagger
@Sunrise-Mantis
@EisenEnte

@PositivePossum
@schlimmschlimm

@Brazzo_Muc and @GoDividend


and my general motto in life:


"Anyone can do simple!"


I think at this point in time, investing with "putting everything into the AllWorld ETF" would only be half as much fun for me and would rather bore me. Everything is still so new and unknown. 🤯


I'll then see whether the different investments were generally a good thumbs 👍🏻 or a very bad thumbs down 👎🏻Idee.


The sum of € 5,071.00 that I have already firmly capped and gradually planned to invest in this first year 2026 has already been completely written off in my mind as play money.


For the necessary diversification (ETF, ETC, individual shares and crypto) in my portfolio, I have taken further INCENTIVES and have switched from the initial €100 per month savings plan to an accumulating AllWorld ETF and have set up an additional savings plan of €40 per month on the same AllWorld ETF in distributing form in mid-January 2026.


In the meantime, I came up with the idea at the end of January 2026 and added the two existing savings plans $VWCE (+1,89%) and $VWGL additional savings plans ($AIQG (+2,87%)
$RENW (+2,8%)
$IGLN (+3,97%)
$BTC (+1,07%)
$VHYL (+1,77%)
$ISPA (+1,11%)
$FGEU (+2,58%) to a total of 9 savings plans with a monthly sum of €300.


Unfortunately, it was already too late to execute the savings plans by direct debit at Trade Republic at the beginning of 02/2026. Therefore, they will now only be executed in the middle of this month.


Yesterday I spontaneously decided to place a €50 single order in bitcoin. I just let myself be carried away by the postings. 🤑


The planned unscheduled repayment (€500 per month) for my car loan has now worked well for two months and will be prioritized in order to actually become debt-free more quickly.


The specific amounts and items invested to date and in the future can be seen in this Excel table.

Regarding the 6 suggestions from you @Epi (Yes, you'll get the promised feedback here), I've given the following thoughts in detail, from which my plan is then based.


Deka funds:


The two savings plans of €50 per month each were already suspended by me and were actively used to service the first savings plan of €100 per month.


In addition, I am now liquidating the two sub-custody accounts belonging to the savings plans one by one and selling €100 per month in order to achieve the best possible average value in the sale.


The €100 is then immediately reallocated in the form of five savings plans per month and reinvested as follows:


Core: 65%

Satellites: 35%

of which:

Clean Energy 10%

AI: 10%

Bitcoin: 10%

ETC Gold: 5%


VWL:


I will keep the monthly €40 VWL on the third sub-deposit with Deka until I develop the motivation to inform my employer of another contract. At the moment I have no need to be in contact with the HR department any more than necessary.


Nevertheless, I have set up an additional savings plan of €40 per month for the All World ETF distributing from February 2026.


I'm keeping the three individual shares plus the Xiaomi bonus share in my portfolio to develop a feel for shares.


No further individual stocks are currently planned. This fits quite well in this respect, as I have to hold the bonus share for a year before it can be sold.


Bonus savings contract:


The premium savings contract with a term of 99 years under the "old law" has an annual investment of €150 per month at €12.50 with a guaranteed premium of 50% plus interest and compound interest. After checking the terms and conditions of the contract, switching to 0 would result in an immediate loss of the premium. For this reason, I have decided to keep the contract.


Saving & winning without savings:


Just as I was about to decide whether to cancel the savings tickets, one of the tickets won €1,000 in January 2026. For this reason, I decided to keep my 10 tickets after all.


A key point of my savings lottery tickets is that I get €480 of the €600 back at the end of the year.


These will also be distributed by me to the 5 selected savings plans in December in the same weighting as for the reallocation from the Deka Depot.


The profit from the savings lots in the amount of €1,000 goes to$XEON (+0%) for "max. interest".


Nest egg:


My real nest egg, on the other hand, I keep completely in the call money account so that it is always immediately available to me.


To give me a feel for dividends, I've also picked out three dividend ETFs that I invest €20 a month in.


In combination, these three ETFs ensure that I receive a planned dividend every month. That sounds like a lot of dopamine, at least in theory, so I really like it.


What will actually still be there in 01/2027 from the €5,071 invested is already a 100% profit for me, because after I fell for the game "WOS" 🥶(who knows it?) almost a year ago and blew around 5k on digital crap in 3 months and above all to improve my stove 🔥🪵, this is clearly the better alternative to spend my money on dopamine boosts and pass the time. And being part of a community online at the same time. What more could you want?


So, I'm already looking forward to your feedback. Be honest, I can take it! 🤞🏻

You've given it more thought. That's good. But I would have come to completely different conclusions.

I think a lot will change in your portfolio over the next few years. And that's a good thing 😁. Good luck with that

@DonkeyInvestor Thank you. Would you like to share your decisions with me? I also assume that something will change in the coming years. This is deliberately planning for one year without making any further changes. "Come what may!"

@Ritter_des_Rechts Too many positions with too low a savings rate. What are the lots for? You say yourself that you are over-engineering. Always reduce debt first, at least if it involves high interest rates. You do things spontaneously instead of planning them ...

@DonkeyInvestor hmm, this investment world is really new to me.

It all started with the fact that I wanted to get to grips with my finances quickly because I was afraid of losing my job. Fortunately, that didn't turn out as expected.

With the savings lots, you could get paranoid that I've now won in 01/2026 because they knew I wanted to quit them. Of course I don't believe that, but that's why I made the decision to hold on to the lottery tickets this year 2026.

I'm paying off my debts with a special monthly repayment of €500. Of course, I could also put all my capital into paying off my debts first, but I want to gain experience and get started. If I hadn't dealt with this, I would still only be paying off €333 a month on the loan until 09/2032.

That's not meant to be a justification to you, even if it sounds like one. I can only buy experience in this financial world indirectly. Thank you for your feedback. 💛

My dear donkey, do you know a platform with a sample portfolio in which I can fictitiously put the same amount as a savings plan for the All World to have a comparison of what would have happened if I had put the sum from my 9 savings plans, the savings lots, the premium savings, the €40 vwl and everything else?

I am a fan of such comparisons.
immagine del profilo
@Ritter_des_Rechts yes, such a platform is getquin 😄. Otherwise, you can also use any interest and savings calculator and apply the average annual return of the VWRL

@DonkeyInvestor Now that you mention it. I completely ignored that.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
You'll see if you can keep up the micromanagement in the long term. For now, at least it gives you a sense of control in a new, uncontrollable field, the capital market.

But: there is continuity with gambling addiction - your dopamine addiction. This is highly dangerous for your finances and will result in 100% losses in the long term. It forces you to make irrational decisions, e.g. panic buying or selling. The fact that you wanted to give up this strange lottery saving was a rational decision, but the fact that you suddenly stuck with it after winning €1000 is irrational. This is exactly how failure works on the stock market: you plan to sell a position and then it rises briefly, you stick with it and the loss gets bigger and bigger. In the end, you throw it all away and say to yourself: "Never again! At least the games were fun!". And you move on to the next supposedly dopamine-rauach, Rolex watches or Pokemon cards or horse betting or whatever.

Make sure that doesn't happen to you! Invest your hard-earned money rationally. 👍

@Epi thank you 🤩 the spontaneous purchase of Bitcoin two days ago makes it clear that I really need to become more rational. That's exactly why I put a lid on the planning and don't really want to see how the portfolio develops on a monthly basis. Let's see if I can reconcile that with my curiosity.

Yes, dopamine addiction is an issue for me in many respects. But I haven't yet found a way of pursuing something that won't cause me damage in some way, sooner or later.

Sometimes it's an addiction to series, then to bingo, then to cooking, then to reading, then to extreme sports, then to food, then to sex, then to traveling and now it's once again an addiction to working more. At the same time, my screen time on getquin is increasing exponentially every day. Presumably to distract me from the thought of "another 48 hours until I can finally get back to work".

Some addiction always wants to be served by me so that there is enough dopamine in my body.

Thank you for your feedback and I'll try to see things more rationally, especially when it comes to the stock market.

@Ritter_des_Rechts Maybe it would be a good idea to radically separate your finances from your dopamine addiction? Like cutting off contact with your parents or something. 😁

And then find a task that is fundamentally good for you and gives you a sense of purpose. The dopamine will come, but not destructively.

As long as the dopamine boost remains the meaning behind every activity, every activity becomes destructive to you. Not a good idea for finances either. 🤷

Thanks for the nice mention 🙏
I like how much you've dealt with it and I'm sure you'll make a lot of adjustments along the way. But you're going in the right direction and that will take you forward!
All the best 💪🏼🍀

You have put together a lot of building blocks. I hope you stick to your plan and that it brings the desired success in the end. But at least you've found a plan for yourself, which is excellent.

@Krush82 It may or may not work out. In any case, I don't plan to look in until 12/2026 and still need to find out how best to do this in connection with getquin. I think the best option will be to freeze the data from my portfolio for getquin 🧊 and not update it any more.

Good luck and have fun trying it out!
You're aware that you're overengineering, and that's okay. I'm curious to see what knowledge, learnings and conclusions you draw after a year.

In the first two years, I also changed, reorganized and adapted things here and there within my strategy and am only in my third year now and so far satisfied, even if the target weighting has not yet been reached for everyone.

@Metis If I am still part of this community, I will continue to report on it in any case.

You've set yourself a lot of goals. Now it's time to keep at it and block out your emotions

@GoDividend Since these are savings plans, I only have to take action once after the execution in 11/2026 and adjust them for 12/2026.

In this respect, I don't really see any major effort. What do you mean by "a lot of work"? Can you elaborate on that? Oh yes, I have to keep my emotions in check so that I don't make any more folders outside of the plan, like at $BTC. Otherwise the plan to "put the lid on" will have failed completely...
immagine del profilo
@QW3RTY a lot, i.e. saving many positions in very small doses. You have to persevere for a very long time to enjoy it, that's what I meant. Others have already written about it. But go ahead and do it
immagine del profilo
It's great that you've informed yourself over the past few weeks and developed a plan!

You have already implemented two of my 3 points (1. inform, 2. decide).

Now it's time for the third: DURCHZIEHEN. The supreme discipline. This is not easy, especially in volatile times like these. Even for experienced investors.

If you are convinced of your strategy, let's go. 😎🍾

@PositivePossum yes exactly, after the first adjustment after less than two weeks, the second adjustment a week later and the spontaneous order of €50 in Bitcoin two days ago, it is now time to PUSH THROUGH and PUT THE COVER ON.

Let me put it this way, my portfolio is now in the pressure cooker until the end of the year and is simmering away.

Only the ingredients from the 9 fixed savings plans can be added as further quantities, without changing the quantities or the time of addition.

Opening the pot prematurely, removing or changing the ingredients again could change the taste for the better, but I'm sticking to my set recipe.

We will see! 📈 or 📉

My father already did that with the PS lots 50 years ago 😉.

@Multibagger Is that a good or a bad sign? How is your father doing with it? Or are you telling me that the €6,000.00 for the 10 lottery tickets per month over the last 50 years could have been better invested by your father? Has your father ever won before?
1
immagine del profilo
@Ritter_des_Rechts Apart from the fact that my father has been dead for over 30 years, it was more about the fact that he did it because of the repayment. It was always for Christmas. He never had any big profits. So I wasn't criticizing him in any way.

@Multibagger oh, I didn't realize that. Sorry about that. Didn't mean to get too personal. My mistake.

@Ritter_des_Rechts That's not a problem, how do you know? So it's all good.

Joar so praise nice & good - everyone has started once but Jesus Maria, far too many positions and therefore your savings rate is virtually meaningless. I mean 20,- per month in the $FGEQ to receive dividends as you said? What does it pay out then? More than 5 euros a year?
1
immagine del profilo
@RealArnoDuebel I love honest feedback. Thank you for that.

For me, the first year is not about the amount of the dividend itself, but about getting a feeling for the distribution of dividends themselves.

For 2026 I can expect about ~2 € gross dividend for the $FGEQ if I save 20 € per month in this ETF from 02/2026.
1
immagine del profilo
@Ritter_des_Rechts I was wondering if my comment wasn't a bit harsh, but in the end I'm pleased that you're taking it so lightly.

I'm also absolutely not a friend of $FGEQ. I recently threw it out too and absolutely prefer $VHYL. Please reconsider the FGEQ! Take a look at $TDIV - better distribution and price growth.

Otherwise, try it out. I made the same mistakes with too many ETFs and everyone comes to the realization later anyway😁

I remain curious and will continue to follow you. LG from a F2P WOS player 😅😅😅😅

immagine del profilo
@RealArnoDuebel There is no such thing as too hard for me. I'll be happy to take a look at $TDIV, but I won't change my decision. The lid has been on since yesterday until the end of the year.

But my other motto in life is

"Always remember that your own determination is more important than anything else."

is also far too present in my life.

WOS as F2P I lasted 5 minutes. I was just immediately in a bubble and neglected everything but the game. Unfortunately, that cost me a lot and not just money. But I am more than one experience richer for it.

Very nice presentation and clear goals. I think that's great. My "nest egg" is in my custody account with SC and always earns me 2% interest without me having to reallocate anything.

immagine del profilo
@TradingHase Thank you for your feedback. I currently still have it with DKB. When the promotion is over, I will probably leave it with Trade Republic as cash from 01.04.2026.
1
@Ritter_des_Rechts I would recommend that you clearly and strictly separate the nest egg from the custody account. Different bank, different account.

TradeRepublic you have your custody account, so the hurdle & temptation to invest it is so great.
You have decided on this irrationality with your lots. Because of a lucky strike, you have thrown your decision overboard and are hoping for a second lucky strike. Whatever these "tickets" are - but it sounds like the bank is winning.

Interest away. Your securities account makes the return, not your call money.

@MoneyISnotREAL That's a very important objection that I hadn't considered. I just wanted to look at it pragmatically again.

The raffle tickets were simply quashed for me. One ticket costs €5, of which €4 is paid out at the end of the year. The proceeds from the purchase of the lottery ticket and the interest that the bank earns in the year with the €4 are used to support voluntary projects. In our town it was a skating rink.

The many comments here have already made me regret my decision a little. However, the decision to throw it overboard and cancel the lottery tickets after all is at least as irrational in my eyes. I probably let myself be guided too much by "Alec Baker, The Irrational".

immagine del profilo
@Ritter_des_Rechts I always liked this aspect of the PS lottery tickets, as they were called back then, because they supported social and regional projects and you also saved money.
Today I have TV lottery tickets where I've won 10 euros in the last 5 years. But even there, supporting social projects is more important to me 😉.
immagine del profilo
@MoneyISnotREAL I agree with you, but you can also let your nest egg work. And if you're really not disciplined enough not to touch it, you can use another provider. SC also offers interest and I'm happy with that.
immagine del profilo
Thanks for mentioning it 🙂
I'm glad you've found a strategy that works for you 👍🏻
Even if I find it a bit complicated due to the relatively large number of positions, I wish you every success with it. 🍀
