10k milestone reached - training completed

Hello everyone,


My investment journey began almost 3 years ago. I started my training as a real estate agent and regularly put some of my salary aside.


After that, I set myself a goal: To have 10k deposit at the end of my apprenticeship.

I completed my training in January due to a shortened training period.


Now that I have a "real" salary, I've been able to significantly increase my savings rate ~150 -> ~500€. However, this will only last until September because I will then be studying real estate management on a dual basis and will have a significantly lower salary again.


The 3 years on the stock market were a lot of fun, it was a wild up and down. Initially with typical bad buys like $MPW (-0,41%) or any stock that was recommended on Insta, I then put together my portfolio. Now I've got my portfolio to the point where I want to hold a maximum of 10 positions, with the $ISAC (+0,02%) should always remain the largest position.


A few words about my other positions:


Innodata and Nebius in particular have done extremely well recently. Only my profits are still in Innodata. I will use the other 50% to pay for my flight to my vacation (sometimes you have to treat yourself🙈) I will continue to hold both positions in the long term.


The Alphabet position is a free share from Trade Republic. Can only be sold at Christmas.


I picked up BAT at the end of 2023 and am super happy, even though I know that at my age (22) growth is much more important than dividends.


With Novo, like some here, I'm unfortunately still in the red, but I think the position size and the risk/reward ratio are still okay.


I was also able to achieve a good return with the Space Innovators ETF, even though I got in relatively late. I am considering selling here after the SpaceX IPO, which is just under a month away. What is your opinion on this?


I still plan to save the Ai&Big Data ETF for the long term, as I see it as a must-have for the future.


I also don't think it's a bad idea to add BTC to my portfolio, as I was able to take home a €250 bonus after depositing €1000, which has significantly increased the position.


Lastly, my sinfully expensive VWL savings fund, the Deka Fond, which I unfortunately have to let run. The employer saves €14 here and I pay the remaining €26 to take the full saver's allowance.


So now I should have said something about each position, please give me some feedback. Where were you financially at 22 and what are your tips for the future? :)

It all reads very well! Congratulations on your discipline and achieving your goals. Keep up the good work.
I also had 10k at 22. But then at 24 I had -2,000 😅
Then it slowly clicked and looking back, it's totally crazy what I've achieved in 10 years.
Good luck, you're on the right track! And ACWI rocks 🤘

It's also written from the gut, many posts here are unfortunately only AI generiert😵‍💫
What has happened in the last 2 years?

@ImmoHai The two years weren't the problem. I had no financial education and had too high expectations. I started my studies with just under 20k that my parents/family had saved for me and consumed everything during my studies and afterwards. Until I took out my first loan for 2k for a consumption decision. It was only a small monthly salary. But I simply had a hole in my wallet until I realized what I needed to afford to buy my own car or house and so on.

When I was 22, I was studying with a student loan and was glad that my father set up my youth giro without an overdraft facility at the time and insisted that I continue to have no overdraft facility when I took over my account at 18 and that I therefore existed around the zero point of my account during my studies, in contrast to fellow students who were constantly stuck with an overdraft facility. 🤣

Mega stand, keep going, don't suddenly be stupid and greedy with investment decisions, then it will steadily increase, no matter how big or small the savings rate is at the moment. 💪🏻

@Metis Thank you, it's exciting to hear. Yes, from September I'll have to live more frugally again for 3.5 years 😢

At the age of 22, I had 10k but had not yet invested. So I did everything right. An investment of 10k at such a young age is a solid basis. Even if you earn less due to the dual study program (I did too), it will be worth it in the end if you can significantly increase your savings rate as a result

@InvestingJourney yes, precisely because I work in the public sector. Everything there is based on qualifications. With my training, I would have quickly reached the salary limit

Why $MPW as a bad buy? 😂 Patience 😉

@GeldGenie The management had made a lot of mistakes and the main tenant was also doing very badly at the time. Judging by the share price, things still don't look much better 🤣
