Hello everyone,
I would like to introduce myself and my portfolio.
My name is Fabian, I'm 36, I'm trapped in the hamster wheel (working) and I haven't been investing for very long, as you can see from my portfolio. My savings rate is currently between €500 and €1500 per month, depending on my professional success.
My goal is to be able to live off distributions and then pursue the things that I really enjoy doing and that fulfill me. I would like to achieve this goal in the next few years and haven't yet worked out how long it will really take. But I'm guessing that realistically it will take 20-30 years. It's a shame that I didn't start sooner, but better now than in 5 years, 15 years or never.
After reading up a bit on the subject, I decided to go for the S&P 500 instead of a world and clearly against individual shares.
One of the main arguments for me in favor of ETFs is that in the long term winners are weighted more heavily and losers are weeded out.
Over the last few months, I had set myself the goal of getting the S&P 500 into 5 figures as quickly as possible. This may not be the scientifically correct approach, but it has motivated me a lot and now I am facing my first small milestone and actually have a lot more questions than before.
I'm wondering whether I should simply set my sights on 30,000 as my next goal or start a new ETF. I would somehow be very keen on the latter (for various reasons). And I would have already shortlisted the following ETFs: an MSCI World ex USA , $GGRP (+0,17%) or $TDIV (+0,01%) or Bitcoin.
Of course I could just stick with the S&P 500 only, but I don't think that would motivate me as much and I'd just take longer. Certainly not rational, but you should invest in such a way that you sleep well.
I would be very interested to know what your opinion is? Does anyone take a similar approach? Does anyone have a similar portfolio? What can be done better?
