Finally! 200k (€) and I just turned 30!
Ladies,
I DID IT!!! Oh my god I am so excited to share this with you all!!
I crossed the 200k (€) mark TODAY!! AND I only just turned 30!
I am so damn proud of myself!
I'm so excited to see your reactions as I have noone I can share/celebrate this with in my life, as I am keeping my finances private for now, because that's what feels right to me and makes me feel safe.
A little bit about my journey that led me to this point:
This did by no means happen over night. Ever since I found my love for financial education and the FIRE movement in 2019 I have done everything I can to build wealth all by myself and in a clever way.
I earn a very regular wage, but live a very frugal lifestyle and invest as much as I can in ETFs like the Vanguard FTSI All-World (Acc) ETF. I live life to the fullest (I love travelling!) but I do it very intentionally and on a clear budget. I don't need much except the bare minimum (home, food, etc.) and have always made sure to have low cost/free hobbies. I am truly very fulfilled and happy.
And what truly gives me joy in a money sense is not buying things, but seeing how I become more and more free each month by building wealth and getting closer to financial independence. ☺️
I have worked so damn hard to get here and it was SO worth it!
I have truly never felt this free and that feeling is getting even stronger the more money I have. Because money = freedom.
I truly know I can reach financial independence through my own hard work and ambition and so can you!
Just remember: Every Euro/dollar counts, every small amount counts and brings you closer towards your goal! Never underestimate that!
I'll go make myself a nice drink, celebrate this huge milestone now. ☺️💃🏼
All the love
J
