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!

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.

Portfolio update May 2018

Hello fellow freedom and wealth seekers!

May was another great month setting a new personal record for me (again).  I’m amazed that the numbers keep rising. Of course, I keep investing so, in theory, income should be following along. But theory doesn’t always match reality and the path to your goals never follow a straight line. The tide goes in and out, there’s ups and downs like in all parts in life. But one thing is sure: We have set our sails and the destination is clear. We might spend the night in a new harbor we didn’t expect to visit, but that’s also what makes the journey interesting isn’t it?

This months growth came mainly from a higher blog income. Thank you so much for being on this journey with me. I really enjoy your company and truly appreciate your support!

Here is my income statement for May 2018.

Savings rate – Increase income or save more money?

Savings rate banner

Why is savings rate important?

When you are steering towards Financial Freedom it’s fun and satisfying to look at your income raising from month to month. However, income is only a part of the equation. Expenses are just as important. Still, a lot of people choose to neglect this area. Why? It’s obvious… It means cutting down on all the things you’re used to buy for short term pleasure! Who want’s to cut down on fun? We all want to be rich to spend lots of money, right? Continue reading “Savings rate – Increase income or save more money?”
