End of the month report March 2024

Total portfolio: £130773 (+15039)

Here we are the end of the year, checking the numbers. How am I doing? Lets see:

Debt: 0 (-1049)
External funds: ZERO
Car: No
Net Worth: £130773 (+16088)

Investments UK: £90310 (+12179)
Investments overseas : £406 (+3)
Cash: £8500 (+1427) 
Pension: £30934 (+1700)

Passive income: £2600 (59%)
Savings rate: 1% 

Side hustle 2 profit (Royalties): £ 2.27
Side hustle 3 profit (Match betting): £0
Side hustle 4 value (Crypto): £2600 (All my funds invested in crypto we're recovered)
Side hustle 5 profit (Focus groups): £0
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. 


Projects to follow up in 2024:

Hive - 12.36% completed (generated $265 this month)

Across - 27% completed (generated $473 this month)

Shares Account no.1 AJ Bell 10K - 17% completed

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

Wish you a good year!

Debt went a bit up as I temporarily used Paypal to buy some hotel/plane tickets for the next trip to Spain. They will be covered mostly by the end of March. I do have the money, but they are in a term deposit expiring around 20th of March. Can't lose the interest, isn't it? A net worth increase due to Bitcoin and other crypto going up, I used the opportunity to send another £1700 to my bank, so now I have some 78K crypto and only £1900 to recover from the initial investment. As I have some extra expenses, I plan to send some more funds to the bank. Increased my Freetrade account value to 1K, and next on the list is to add another £400 to the AJ Bell shares account, to bring it up to 2K, as I want slowly this year to have 10K in Shares on each of my two accounts. Still, my first priority is to build back the 10K Cash emergency fund.

Crypto bull market started, and I am planning to redirect some funds toward shares and funds, to have some real money available, just in case. My main decrease in investments is from crypto, and a bit from pension and shares. I am also planing to raise the bar, making 10K available in cash at any moment, up from the 6.5K that I got now. Still have a small debt of £300 as I bought some flight tickets on Paypal, but I plan to pay 300 in February and finish with it (they got some 3 months no interest deal I think). Trying to do some rudimentary plan, and this is what I got:
