I've been with Telekom since its IPO, and in addition to my Telekom employee stock, I've been investing in the $HJUF (+0,65%) .
I reallocated this portfolio in 2021:
- $VWRL (+0,36%) (Vanguard FTSE All-World).
- $VHYL (+0,01%) (Vanguard FTSE All-World High Dividend).
Added in June 2026:
- $LDGL (+0,82%) (L&G Global Quality Dividends)
I’ve really tried a lot of things—individual stocks, gold, silver.... ShitCoins, etc....all that “buy-and-sell” nonsense just cost me fees and unnecessary taxes...basically, I’m doing best with the ETFs mentioned above: set up a savings plan, let them ride --> done
Savings rate since 2021
My savings rate is currently about 400 euros/month plus the dividends listed below.
Goal
It would be nice to have a few euros in additional passive income from dividends. I’d like to possibly reduce my working hours in a few years before retirement and hope that works out 😊
Dividends
My current dividend income of approximately 3,000 euros per year is automatically reinvested (a feature available at ING and Scalable) directly back into the respective ETFs.
