9-month review

Hello everyone!

Welcome to my 9-month review. I don’t know why, but I have been so excited to do this review. I think because we are so close to the end of the year and I am now able to tell whether or not I will reach my goals.

I am going to start by reminding you of the new goals I set during my mid-year review:

1. Save €6.000 in my emergency fund
2. Have a €20.000 net worth
3. Have €2.000 invested in the stock market
4. Reach €12 in dividend earnings

Let’s see how I am doing so far. 

Emergency fund

As you can see in the table below, I already saved 82,2%. I am sure that I will hit my €6.000 goal at the end of this year. Like I mentioned before, this is not a goal that I am really excited about, but I need it, so I must continue. The remaining amount will be divided by 3. So for the rest of the year, I will be putting approximately €360 towards my emergency fund.

Net worth

In my mid-year review, I mentioned that I wanted to have a €20.000 net worth, but that it was kind of a stretch. In August or September, I finally found out how much money I have in my retirement investment. I added this number to my networth and it helped a lot, but I am still not 100% sure that I will reach this goal. I think that I actually will, but we will see.

In the graph below you can see that my net worth is €18.175,81. I am so proud of this number! I never thought that one day I would have so much money. I have to say that we are pretty close. I am doing good.

Investment

My third goal was to have €2.000 invested in the stock market. Guess what? I did it! I reached this goal already! I invested about €2.200. For the rest of the year, I will only be investing €108 per month and my dividends will of course be reinvested. I used to put the extra money that was left at the end of the month towards my investment, but since I reached my goal this extra money will be going to my savings.

Dividend earnings

Last but not least, I want to have received a total dividend payment of €12 this year. So far I have received €10,02, which means I am almost there. In the graph below you can see that I already received 83,50% of my goal. I will definitely reach this goal. It will probably happen in October because that will be my biggest dividend month.

As you can see I am pretty positive about reaching my goals. I am really excited to finish this year strong.

To summarize, this are my goals that I still need to reach this year:

1. A €6.000 emergency fund
2. A €20.000 net worth
3. A €12 dividend earning

In the first week of January I will do a 2021 review and the big question will be “Do I have a €20.000 net worth?”. I am already excited.

This is all I have for today. Thank you for your precious time and until next time!

Love,
