Hello everyone, I am back at it again with my monthly overview. I hope all of you are doing great. If you are a fellow investor the chances are quite high that your portfolio is not performing very good either. You are not alone! Mine is taking a huge dump over the last months. This is part of the investing life, though. I have actually checked historical numbers and my portfolio is at the same number it was exactly one year ago. I have worked a whole year without making a penny! Of course, I don’t need to look at it like that! That is enough whining from me. Let’s take a look at my portfoli ..read more

Hello everyone! March ended a couple of days ago, so here I finally am with another blog post. Is it just me or does new years day feel like it was just a week or two ago? I will not be going off-topic here this month. I believe we are all aware of current world events. I really hope better times will come as soon as possible. That being said, let’s get into the portfolio update for March 2022. Don’t forget that you can always find an up-to-date overview of all the ‘numbers’ in my portfolio on the My Portfolio page.

Wait?! what?! The first month of 2022 is already over?! Hello everyone, could someone please slow down time? I am back at it again with my portfolio update for January 2022. The first few weeks of this year were packed with a lot of stuff. I started my new job a couple of weeks ago. I got my first Microsoft certificate. I joined forces with a friend/partner for my small web design side hustle. I visited quite a lot of apartments in search of an investment opportunity. Aaaaand I did NOTHING for the Investing Youngster blog. Please tell me how disappointed you are! I am still looking for the b ..read more

Hi everyone, first and foremost a happy new year to you all. I hope that everyone had some great holidays and I wish you all the best for 2022. Personally, I can not believe how fast 2021 went by. I must be getting older because the years seem to be getting shorter and shorter. I am a bit late with this portfolio update for December 2021. I have had some hectic weeks. Together with two partners, I started a company to buy and sell real estate to hopefully make some pocket money while doing it. Another blog post in the future will maybe go a little bit more in-depth about this exciting (for m ..read more

Hello, fellow investing enthusiasts! Another month has flown by once again. Portfolio-wise, nothing has changed that much. I did not manage to save as much as I want to once again. Unfortunately, the girlfriend broke up with me a bit over one month ago. I am struggling more than I would have thought which is taking a toll on my dreams and goals, including the financial ones. Anyway, this is not a mental health blog so let’s get into the portfolio update for November 2021! Don’t forget that you can always find an up-to-date overview of all the ‘numbers’ in my portfolio on the My Portfoli ..read more

Hi everyone, are months just days now? I am getting old! Fortunately, this was a very good month so I can’t really complain. I did not manage to save as much as I want but gains in the stock market and the cryptocurrency markets made up more than the difference! Let’s take a look at my portfolio update for October 2021! Don’t forget that you can always find an up-to-date overview of all the ‘numbers’ in my portfolio on the My Portfolio page. Portfolio overview Last month, we barely held on to the €100.000 portfolio milestone. October had something completely different in mind. T ..read more

A business’s cash flow plays a vital role in the success of the company. It is what pushes forward growth and allows the company to evolve and expand. If cash flow is poor, it can also lead to the company’s downfall, so it is vital that businesses do all they can to maximize cash flow efficiency by managing it as effectively as possible. Use an electronic collection system One thing that can really throw cash flow out of whack for any business is an inability to collect payment on time and in full. Something that can really help to largely eliminate this as a problem is switching ..read more

There are certain times in life where we want or need to make some money quickly. Generally speaking, making money is a relatively slow process. We’re used to working jobs, accruing pay and then being paid at the end of each working month. We may invest in things that take a few years to kick off and actually generate some money. But then, there are also a number of instances where we need money pretty quickly. Maybe you owe money and need to clear the debt. Maybe you have bill payments coming out that you don’t have the cash ready for. You might suddenly need money for a medical appointment ..read more

Hello, fellow investing enthusiasts. Another month has passed and it seems like they are just flying by at this point. Am I just getting old? That being said, it was not the best month both portfolio-wise as well as investing- and saving-wise. Let’s take a look at my portfolio update for September 2021. Don’t forget that you can always find an up-to-date overview of all the ‘numbers’ in my portfolio on the My Portfolio page. Portfolio overview In my last portfolio update, I saw a possibility for a little cool down, especially after the 2 great previous months. This is exactly wh ..read more

We are all trying to make the most out of our money, but there are so many things that we have to choose from when it comes to money products. Some of these things we have a decent knowledge of, others are a bit unfamiliar. Unfortunately, there are many different forms of overlooked investments that could do with a second look, and Bonds are one of them. Bonds are one of those things that we may have heard of but are not too sure what they are. Maybe you have only heard of them in old movies, Mr Banks from Mary Poppins was very keen to discuss them and make his children invest in their futur ..read more
