How are you investing this year?

[zerocool2009]

Investing in myself. Gonna get another 2 properties to my investment basket.

Nothing beats passive income

I have 2 that I am renting out. You manage it yourself or are you making use of agencies?
I have them with the same agency since day one. Prefer it that way. I don't want to deal with tenants and all that jazz.

Managing it all myself. Why pay someone for doing the admin? Its fine if you get someone in showing you the steps and paying them.

Its another story if you pay someone and you have more than a handful.

I rather pay myself vs an estate agent, for handling my or rather the jazz

Will add more cattle into the portfolio through SVCapital. Getting 13% or so at present.

It depends on whose time is worth more to you.

Many of us don't have the income needed to invest. Nor can we afford good quality health care. State-owned hospitals are in questionable condition and the health care they provide is most of the time none existent. In short, we will not live long enough to enjoy retirement nor will we be able to afford it.

My retirement plan is to be euthanized when I am unable to work. I refuse to be a financial burden to anyone.

Kept hearing last year how there will be a recession this year... So cash in the bank and then slowly start DCAing myself into ETFs time goes on.

[Napalm2880]

I'm investing my time into some side projects. Sadly in this day and age your not going to have a great retirement if you solely rely on your company to look after you.

Buying property for dirt cheap in Scandi countries
Investing in AI tech companies

How does one buy property in these countries?

How does one buy property in these countries?

I live in the Netherlands. I have agencies that send me property info. I go on trips to Scandi countries, look at properties and buy those that I think are value.

 

[DentistGuy]

Will max out TFSA for wifey and I, contribute to retirement and RSA retail bonds are looking attractive at 10.5% at the moment.

I put in solar earlier jokingly but honestly for the way my income works a rand saved is equivelant to R2 in earnings. Between tax, and pension contributions and other % based deductions on my payslip I get about R1 in my bank account for every R2 I earn. So if I save R1000 on something in my budget, its like a R2000 raise in terms of spending power.

My solar cost me a lot, about R160K sunk into it but it is now saving me roughly R900 pm. That is money I need desperately right now and at the same time it helps me avoid load shedding which is equally valuable in terms of sanity.

Sad thing is a R160K fixed deposit right now would earn me about R1100 pm. So from a pure investment perspective it is not perfect, but overall usefulness as well as cost savings makes it seem very worthwhile.
