Cash 10K - 96.30% 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 £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!

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!

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.

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.

Side hustle 6 profit (Internet):£0

So, I know, savings rate is 1% as I did not save a lot this month, but I did paid a £1300 debt on Paypal from the last travel to Spain, so now I am once again on Zero Debts. Other than that, crypto performed quite well in March, as I managed to send some to the bank, to pay my Paypal debt, recovering all the funds that I initially invested in the process. Invested a bit in the Hive project though, and Across liquidity provider funds increased slightly, but the profit generated monthly is better than the previous month. Still, I am pushing to increase both of them, reinvesting for now, in order to reach my critical target. Creating a £10K emergency fund is still a priority, now that I finished with the major expenses.
