Let’s be real—financial freedom isn’t about hitting some magic number and calling it quits. It’s about building a portfolio that pays you, grows for you, and gives you options. I don’t invest to retire and sit on a beach (okay, maybe for a bit 🏝️), I invest so that money stops being a limitation in my life.

I use #degiro as my main brokerage, and over time, I’ve built an ETF portfolio that aligns with growth, income, and resilience. No chasing meme stocks, no panic selling—just consistent, strategic investing. Let me break it down. 👇

1️⃣ The Core: Stability & Global Exposure 🌍

The foundation of my portfolio is broad diversification. I don’t try to outguess the market—I own it.

✅ $VEMT (-2,16%)– Vanguard Emerging Markets Government Bonds → A bond ETF? Yep! It provides a solid yield and balances out volatility from equities.

✅ $IHYU (-1,42%) – $ High Yield Bond ETF → I want income, and this ETF helps generate cash flow without relying solely on stocks.

✅ $WEBG (+0,82%)
– Prime All Country ETF → A global equity powerhouse. If the world economy grows, I grow with it. Simple.

The goal here? Consistency, lower risk, and a smooth ride even when markets get shaky.

2️⃣ Growth Plays: Betting on the Future 🚀

While the core of my portfolio is diversified, I also target high-growth sectors to capture innovation and long-term expansion.

🔹 $QYLE (-0,17%)
– Global X NASDAQ 100 Covered Call ETF → Tech exposure with an options overlay? That’s a win-win. I get the growth of tech stocks AND extra income.

🔹 $WSML (+0,26%)
– MSCI World Small Cap ETF → Small caps can be volatile, but they often outperform in the long run. This gives me exposure to future market leaders before they blow up.

I’m not trying to find the next Tesla—I’m betting on a basket of companies that will define the future.

3️⃣ Passive Income: Money That Works for Me 💸

I don’t just invest for capital appreciation—I want cash flow too. That’s where my dividend-focused holdings come in.

💰 $HPRO (+0,25%)
– FTSE EPRA Nareit Global → Real estate exposure without the hassle of managing properties. It provides solid, steady income.

💰 $QQQY
– IncomeShares Nasdaq

💰 $SPYY
– IncomeShares S&P 500

The dream? My portfolio generating enough passive income to cover my expenses. That’s when you stop trading time for money.

4️⃣ The Wild Card: Emerging Markets 🌎

I believe in global diversification, and that means looking beyond just the U.S. and Europe.

🌏 $DEMD (+1,48%)
– Emerging Markets Equity Income → I want to be positioned where the next economic growth boom happens. Emerging markets are risky, but over time, they have massive upside potential.

It’s a long-term bet, but one I’m willing to take.

5️⃣ How I Maximize Returns: Options & Leverage 🔥

Now here’s where I take things to the next level. I don’t just hold ETFs—I make them work harder for me.

📌 Selling cash-secured puts → I generate extra income by selling puts on ETFs I already want to own. It’s a smart way to get paid to wait for a better entry point.

📌 The ‘Buy, Borrow, Die’ strategy → Instead of selling assets and paying taxes, I plan to borrow against my investments, keeping my capital compounding while accessing liquidity tax-free.

These strategies separate those who just invest from those who build wealth strategically.

Final Thoughts: Investing is a Marathon, Not a Sprint 🏆

I don’t check my portfolio daily. I don’t freak out when markets drop. I trust the process, the long-term game, and my ability to stay consistent.

At the end of the day, financial independence isn’t about a number—it’s about having the freedom to make choices based on what YOU want, not what your paycheck dictates.
