Hello fellow Financial Freedom and Wealth seekers!
Weeeeelcome to another episode of “my life is pretty darn busy” at the moment!
Here’s a few of the things I’ve been busy doing in March: Continue reading “Portfolio update March 2019”
Portfolio update January 2019
Hello fellow Financial Freedom and Wealth seekers!
We are one month into the new year and it’s time to take a look at our portfolio performance.
I have a feeling that 2019 is going to be huge. I’m not just thinking about my portfolio performance here, but also the lending sector in general. P2P / Crowdlending is getting attention as more and more people learn about this “new” way of investing. It’s not really new, it has been around since 2005 but if you compare it to the stock market it’s quite fresh.
If you listen to the most popular investing media channels though, P2P lending is very rarely mentioned. I think this will change in the coming years. I really enjoy the stability and predictability of peer to peer lending. In my opinion, this way of investing is soooo satisfying compared to watching the value of your stocks go up and down.
Generating a monthly cash flow (that keeps going up!) is not only about stacking coins. Every coin set aside and invested is another step in the direction of freedom. Freedom to spend your time on whatever you value the most!
When you review your portfolio once a month, you see that you’re on the right path. One day, the cash flow of your investments will surpass your monthly expenses and when that happens you can call yourself Financially Free. Knowing that you will reach your goal eventually is extremely satisfying!
Let’s see how far away from financial freedom I am:
Portfolio update November 2018
Hello fellow Financial Freedom and Wealth seekers!
First off, I’d like to apoligize. I know my responses to questions on email, Facebook and blog comments have been slower than usual.
November was crazy busy for me. It started with 2½ weeks in another work location, then traveling around in the Baltics to visit FastInvest, Crowdestor and Grupeer. While it has been a great month with a lot of new impressions I must admit I look forward to December. Hopefully it will be less stressful.
Sometimes it can be hard to live up to expectations from kids and family, my IT job and you guys here on the Blog. Just know, that I do my best.
On the bright side, my investments are doing really good and income keeps rising. Even blog income keeps climbing.
I’m still amazed that some of you write to me directly to make sure you use my affiliate link and support the blog. You guys are the most supportive and loyal readers I could imagine, I can’t thank you enough! <3
On to the numbers!!
Portfolio update October 2018
Hello fellow Financial Freedom and Wealth seekers!
It’s THAT time of the month and you know what it means.. It’s time for another monthly portfolio update!
Not much has happened in the world of Crowdlending since last month. But no news is often good news in the world of finance.
The stock markets on the other hand, have corrected and the latest drop has sent the American S&P 500 index back to early January 2018 levels. A lot of people are worried that the markets will drop further. Some technical analysts even point out that the charts look a lot like what happened just before the crash in 2007/2008.
However, once everyone starts talking about a crash, I think it’s unlikely to happen in the short term. History shows that market crashes usually happen when no-one expects it.
But nevermind the stock market, here at Financially Free we focus on Crowdlending and alternative investments. These portfolio updates tend to get long enough already, so let’s get right to the numbers!
Portfolio update September 2018
Hello fellow Financial Freedom and Wealth seekers!
Another month has passed which means it’s time for another monthly update.
The monthly statement has been improved with a XIRR percentage (internal rate of return). This shows the calculated return on investment.
Furthermore, I removed decimals from “Invested” and “Value” to make the table easier to read.
