Comments on the progress

This month I reached 7.74% in my financially free progress and my savings rate dropped to 40% on average (as expected).

My goal is still to achieve a saving rate of 50%. It will take some time and effort to reach this level but when I have paid off my student loan and the leverage loan it looks very promising.

The saved money went mostly to my emergency fund. It is now 12% of my investment portfolio.

I have also invested a small amount 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 Mintos. 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 37% of my portfolio.

My investment in the crypto had a very hard month. It really has not been the year where there have been good returns within the crypto.

More information

My Pension

The saving rate and the financially free progress is 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 37 years from now. The government can change the rules (and they did before).

Prediction of the future

If my investment portfolio has approximately +10% yearly in return (ROI) and my income streams increase as expected, then I’m financially free in:

As you can see my journey is very long. I hope to reach my long-term goals at New Year 2029 at age 44 🙂
