Don’t worry guys, my credit card debt is on a 0% APR card so I’m not paying any interest on it. I’ve just been hit with some weird cost-timing for wedding stuff. I’m taking advantage of the non-interest payments though and don’t expect to carry this debt for more than a few months.
I’m shaking up my go-forward strategy a bit next month. I’m going to divest a bit from my stock investments in my taxable account and move that money into ethereum. I’ve been doing a lot of research over the last few months about ethereum and I feel good about this decision for my personal investment situation. I feel like the risk/reward there is massive and I can tolerate the risk level of cryptos accounting for about 12% of my overall investment portfolio.
I hope you guys enjoyed this net worth update – I’ve still got a while to go before I reach financial independence, but I’m starting to get to the point to where my investment gains are on pace to rival the income generated from my salary. What a cool feeling that will be the first year that that’s the case.
Are your guys’ net worths looking good lately? I hope so with the market being up!
Until next time.
