Shares Account no.1 AJ Bell 10K - 17.60% completed

Shares Account no.2 Freetrade 10K- 12.90% completed

Cash 10K - 100% completed

Not a bad month, with small efforts, but often, as I got some savings on both my bank accounts £200 on one, £250 on another, and I sent £600 to settle an old debt. Next two months, a different story as I need to make a party for my wife (a big round number) and buy a new phone, all while I am saving a bit still. The Emergency cash savings account is completed now, as I start to put some money into shares, while I am still trying to get Hive and Across increasing. Did got my interest on Across, with the next harvest programmed for June 2025. I may go next for the Freetrade 10K in Shares, as a plan B. 

Wish you a good year!

Not a bad month, with small efforts, but often, as I got some savings on both my bank accounts £200 on one, £250 on another, and I sent £100 on the shares portfolio. While some of the increase is due to the crypto value going up, I did had some $616 coming from some forgotten investment, and I did got some extra cash on my wages thanks to the August bank holiday. Overall, my net worth added 6K more to the total. 

Wish you a good year!

Cash 10K - 93.50% completed

A big drop of around £10948 due to the crypto portfolio, as everything went down lately in value. But the shares are recovering, and hopefully the crypto will follow soon. I am close to get the desired £10K in cash savings. Other than that, I am increasing some crypto portfolios now when is cheap to buy, hopefully to convert it later in shares money when they go up. A medium risk move, but they still bring a decent profit every month in interest. 

Wish you a good year!

Cash 10K - 90% completed

A moderate drop of around £2K due to the crypto value drop.Other than that, the worst month in terms of profits, after January, showing that the economy crisis is not over yet. Roialties are down to almost nothing lately. But we must go on, again and again. I am very close to reach the 10K savings for emergency cash fund. In the next two months it may be done. Then I go for some shares. 2 accounts of 10K each, until the end of 2025, as the plan goes for now. 

Wish you a good year!

A sharp drop of around £10K, 9000 due to the crypto value drop, and 1390 from Paypal, as I paid for a holiday, planning to pay in 3 instalments over the next 3 months. Other than that, second worst month in terms of profits, after January, showing that the economy crisis is not over yet. My secret plans bumped up nicely, 3% for Across, 2% for Hive, if this would be maintenable, I will be alright in just 2 years. But I hope to do it even in 3, I would not mind. 

Wish you a good year!
