I have been with Deutsche Telekom since its IPO and, in parallel to my Deutsche Telekom employee shares, I have invested in the $HJUF (+0,47%) for years.
In 2021, I converted this into the $VWRL (-0,01%) (Vanguard FTSE All-World) and the $VHYL (-0,48%) (Vanguard FTSE All-World High Dividend) and formed my "core" from this.
Preparing for retirement (if the orange man remains relaxed, then in 2034):
Since January 2026, I have also been investing in the $TDIV (-0,61%) (VanEck Morningstar Developed Markets Dividend Leaders), Realty Income $O (-0,11%) , Main Street Capital $MAIN (+0,28%) and the CC-ETF $JEPQ (-0,03%) and $WINC (+0,08%) as a small test balloon. I have been holding a small position since January 2026 $BITC (-0,3%) (CoinShares Physical Bitcoin).
Savings rate since 2021
My savings rate is currently approx. 400 euros/month plus dividends 🙂
Target
A few euros in additional passive income from dividends would be nice. I would like to reduce my working hours in a few years and hope that this works out 😊
Dividends
My current incoming dividends of approx. 3200€ / year are directly reinvested in the respective ETF.
