24M, only started investing seriously in March
Proud to have finally reached 3k in XEQT. Also have 2.5K in a HISA. From ages 18-23 I spent any money I had saved up from part time work to travel the world. I even went into a little bit of CC debt to go on a big Asia trip. Of course, going into debt is not good, however, I don’t regret travelling the world before being locked into my 9-5 plus constant studying.
However, I am now working full time as an accountant (and studying for my CPA) since September 2025. I used most of my initial earnings towards paying off debt and became debt free this past March and finally decided to hop on the XEQT train.
I know it’s not a lot but happy to have finally built a consistent routine and will look to save a greater % of my salary. Realizing my age as an advantage as well as living with my parents for the foreseeable future, I really wanna take investing seriously over the next few years!
