Comments on the progress
I decided to pay off my leverage loan this month. My goal was to pay it off within 2020! 😎
I’m almost at step 5 towards financial freedom. I just need to focus on my savings rate and reach 50%.
It was a lot of money to pay and I used all my Opportunity Money, some from the Emergency Fund and almost all the saved money this month. The Emergency Fund will be fully funded again in just 2 months.
Therefore, my Financially Free Progress has dropped to 9.61%, but it will increase faster going forward as the loan is paid off.
Furthermore, I have invested in my two index funds. I do this automatically every month at the moment.
The best and most reliable return is still my P2P lending investment at Grupeer and Mintos (actually P2P lending, in general, is going really well).
There is still too much in Mintos compared to the rest, and I want to diversify more in the near future to lower overall risk. It’s now 33% of my portfolio.

My Pension
The savings rate and financially free progress are calculated (yet) without my pension.
I fell lucky that my employer pays 17,30% of my salary into an individual pension scheme.
It will be paid out to me monthly when I reach approx age 68. The agreement states that I get a lifelong payout 😎
Furthermore, I will also get a state pension and ATP (Lifelong Supplementary Pension) when I reach approx age 70. The pension from the state is uncertain as it’s not guaranteed in +30 years from now. The government can change the rules (and they did before).

I invested in Crypto (70,7%) and the rest went to my Emergency Fund (29,3%). - April: Savings rate +19,37% | See the portfolio April 2018
