In February 2025, I pulled the plug. After my Sparkasse funds had barely moved in 4–5 years, I bought my very first stock with just a few euros and zero prior knowledge. It was the best decision ever!
Since then, I’ve been consistently investing €1,300 every month and selecting my own positions entirely on my own.
My milestones (all reached well ahead of schedule!):
🎯 25K: June 25
🎯 40K: Oct. 25
🎯 60K: May ’26
🏆 Current: €70,000 in September ’26!
I’ve now earned over €15,000 in pure returns, and the feeling is simply indescribable. My goal for the end of this year (12/26) was 70K—I’ve already surpassed that. Let’s see if I can hit 80K before the year is out!
My portfolio:
I currently hold 25 positions (24 individual stocks + Bitcoin). Every month, I decide anew how to allocate the €1,300 among these holdings. My ultimate goal: financial freedom.
Question for you:
1️⃣ What do you think of a 100% stock-picking strategy with 24 stocks? Does it become too much work once you hit 100K, or do you stick with it?
2️⃣ I’m thinking about adding a new position in $APP (+5,92%) . What’s your take on the company right now?
Looking forward to your feedback! 👇 #Milestone #StockPicking #FinancialFreedom #ByeByeSparkasse
