Dear GQ Community,
After reading along here quietly and secretly for a few months now, I would finally like to take the step and introduce myself.
I'm 36, live in Munich with my wife and our 4-year-old twins and work as a cost engineer. Family comes first for me, but I also try to find time for sport and voluntary work - which, as you can imagine, is not always easy.
My goal is to build up a portfolio that will generate a steadily growing passive income for me in the long term. In the medium term, I would like to be able to reduce my working hours so that I have more time for hobbies and, above all, my family.
I currently invest around €1,300 a month in various ETFs via a savings plan. The weighting can be easily derived from the size of the respective positions in the portfolio.
In addition, I occasionally invest in individual shares outside the savings plans if there is money left over or a few dividends have accumulated.
In the portfolio, the high proportion of RWE $RWE (+1,91%) and E.ON $EOAN (+2,27%) probably catch the eye. I bought these positions over 10 years ago at the time of the nuclear fuel tax and the nuclear phase-out. They were among my very first investments, so I am somehow attached to the stocks, even if the high weighting is not exactly optimal.
Due to my job, family, voluntary work and sport, I often don't have the time to play an active role here.
From @Dividendenopi and @SAUgut777 I already know that they have a clear focus on dividend stocks. But I look forward to any suggestions and discussions.
Thank you and best regards
Andy
