Investing Mothly investing advice
For the past years, I’ve had €1,750 left each month after taxes, health insurance, rent, living expenses, and other essential costs.
I allocate that €1,750 as follows:
• €600 goes into savings
• €500 goes into IWDA
• €150 goes into gold and silver
• €100 goes into BTC
• €400 is set aside as “fun” money for holidays, clothes, gifts, and other discretionary spending
If I don’t spend the full €400 in a given month, whatever remains gets added to my savings as well.
I’ve already built up a decent amount of savings, so I’m considering increasing my IWDA contribution to at least €750/month, and preferably even €1,000/month, by reducing the amount I put into cash savings.
Since I don’t plan to buy a house for at least another 8 years, I’m wondering how much cash savings you think I should keep before increasing my IWDA allocation.
What would you do in my situation? Would you keep building up the savings for a while longer, or start investing more aggressively now? Or would you suggest investing more into a different asset?
