I'm not aiming for rich, but I'm trying to grow my wealth.
Anyhow, this is my plan:
- Invest 70% of my salary, diversified between index funds (stock market), bank savings/mortgage payments and bitcoin
- Cut living costs
- Increase income
As stated, to be able to invest 70% of my income, I obviously need to cut livings costs down to a minimum.
This includes:
Stop using my car, and rather use my bicycle to get around.
Move back to my moms..
Stop wasting money on bullshit/stuff I don't need/tech.
Buy cheaper food/grow my own veggies.
I'm also increasing my income by:
Renting out the car that I no longer use.
Renting out my apartment where I don't live anymore.
Getting a second job/selling stuff I buy for cheap, at a higher price.
I'm investing as much as possible, and I try to diversify my investments so I don't get screwed if some markets crash.
I'm using global index funds, to get a "stable" % of the global stock market increase. I'm saving up cash instead of paying off my mortgage. I'm able to do this because the rent on my loan is super low, and it pays off to invest it instead/save up cash so I can buy in when the next financial crisis comes. As long as I'm not forced to sell my appartment if/when the housing bubble bursts. Which I won't be, because I have fixed rent % on my mortgage, and I'm renting out the apartment + saved up funds, so I can take a hit, if it comes to that.
I'm also buying bitcoin, because I believe it will increase more in value over time than any stock market/housing market/savings account.
This is a long-term plan, around 10 years.
My goal is not to become "rich", but financially independent. Which means I do not want to be dependent of my employer.
I basically want FUCK YOU MONEY! ^^
