Financial freedom tips early retirement

 Hi All, long time no see! hope all of you are healthy and had a great new year eve As you may noticed i hit the 100k€ value in my Account, great success for me. I made a small Adjustment in my Account i switched to a new MSCI World ETF from xtrackers due to the lower fee (0.19%) and increased the amount back to 1400€/month. And i did to two bigger steps to reach financial freedom soon 1) I changed my employer and got a salary increase not that big but approx 7% With my new employer i joined a retirement plan which i pay 350€ before tax and my employer add another 150€, they guaranteed 3% annual yield. I Did this because in total this is a approx 6% guaranteed yield for my retirement and i am able to receive first payment at the age of 60 years. 2) I bought one Flat with garage for rent. Yes this was a bigger investment on the first view, but i only pay the additional purchase costs its a 100% credit and i only pay off 2%/year So in my opinion its gifted money with a bit work ...

Hey all, just want to give you a short update and share some thoughts. Right now the market recovered a bit and settled down volatility decreases. All extra buys are now in plus and everything looks fine so far but i dont´trust the silence ;) So i decided to clean some old stocks which i bought in the beginning to generate some cash and have a clean depot. I still got a good price and now i am prepared for possible new crashs. Saving Plan adjustment I also decrease again the saving plan back to 1300€ to increase again the cash level a bit. And now i have only a saving plan with the MSCI World. I am convinced this is enough and it shows a stable performance (still boring but stable) So stay save and try to calm down in market crash not sell your stocks see it as a chance to collect cheap. I think the last couple weeks showed again there is no way without stock even in such situations.

Hello togehter, may some of you have noticed stock market is in panic ;) Reason is well known the Coronavirus and the concern of a worldwide Pandemic. A lot of companies have worldwide supply chains which are now in danger. The Fed lower the yield instantly to calm down the market but it helped only for a couple hours. In this situation i increased my monthly saving plan to 2000€/month because share prices are now low again. Honestly i don't know if this is the bottom but i am planning to buy some extra shares and stay with the increased saving plan until things settle down. I am still convinced that the world economy is strong and shares will pay off in the long run. And YES it hurts to see the drop of my current depot. Stay Calm and buy the dip :-)

I have made some changes in the saving plans. When you compare the performance from my Lyx Euro stoxx 600 and MSCI World there is a difference from 3% in one year. So i decided to buy a new ETF MSCI World All Country here the emerging markets are included. We will se if the performance here is more convincing. I also bought some stocks in the dip last year in december which pays off now. Its always hard to buy, an see its dropping down more but usually the market always turn back after a while. Now the anual return is by approx. 7% since 2015 which is great and proofs the long term passive ETF strategy and buy the dip is working. I only have to be used to learn to stay relaxed whe the stock portfolio is wanking about 1000€ a day down or up. All updates new buys and acutal worth of the stock portfolio can be watched in the Live updating Google Sheet its under the Investment tab.

Hi all, exciting times on the stock market but i love it when everyone is scared and prices drops. I used this to increase my position on the DAX the prices are underrated in my eyes. Its always a risk but normaly it pays of for me. I also increased the monthly saving rates for my ETFs to use the low prices. new updating calculations on sheet Changed some calculations on my live updating Google sheet. -Result p.a. since 01/2018 is now added and and self updating the value  For questions feel free to ask

Reducing cost is one of the most effective things to generate free money to invest. For me it´s every year like a game to find new, cheaper offers or new customer offers. For me it makes every year up to 700€ only for the new customer Bonus and takes me only 30 minutes! Insurance: Here its sometimes a bit tricky because you can not change a live insurance easy. Here i only check my health insurance and my liability insurance In case of Car insurance check these because here you can safe a lot of money! Gas: It sounds stupid but i quit every year my gas contract to change to another provider. Here i get the same price or cheaper and mostly a few hundred euro new customer bonus. It takes me 5 minutes over a comparison site for example check24.de in germany Electricity: its the same easy process like gas. :-) Cable TV/Internet: I have a 2 year contract where i have the first year new customer conditions and then i must pay 60% more. So i quit every year and...
