Real Dad Invests 👨🏻‍🍼

Just a normal dad in the UK aiming for a better life for my family. £50k salary. Mortgage. Kids. Investing monthly anyway. I’ll be sharing: - portfolio updates - dividends - salary/budgeting thoughts - honest money feelings - real progress No fake guru stuff. Just the journey.

@CapitalIQ100k Lovely gains! 🚀

@RealDadInvests $NVDA & $NBIS seem to be my biggest winners so far 🫡

GM ☕️ Markets seem to be rebounded from yesterday.. Would love to see it tick over £8,500 😍 How’s your portfolio doing so far?

@StocksbyMatty Aiming for 25 year timeframe - how long are you?

@RealDadInvests Marathon not a sprint🙌

Wow wow wow! What a day in the market How did everyone else do?

@wasianinvestor Thanks for the wise words 🤝

@RealDadInvests Just consistency, patience, showing up daily and engaging with people. Found out the hard way

Well 500 verified happened 😂 unexpected! Thanks everyone who’s following and engaging! Now the 5M impressions 😬

@DividendDrip This is unreal 👏🏻

A quick review of May: and the X analytics. My best month yet 👀 Long may it continue. This community is incredible.

@jackmullig321 Love to see it ! Looking forward to seeing the journey!

Finally positive YTD. This is the risk of investing in volatile stocks!

@5FigureInvestor Nice one Dom! 👋

Gm everyone!👋 I've decided to rebrand This account used to be 'Anonymous Investor' but since I've discovered how great FinX is I've decided to change as I've seen how supportive and kind everyone is so here I am. 😂🙂 Same account, same content, just more personal. How's everyone doing this morning anyway?

Anyone else think investing is a bit like tattoos? 😅 You buy your first share / get your first £0.13p dividend and then you are hooked. This is coming from someone with a full chest piece and sleeves 😂

@finsightt I have just under 13.5 shares at average of 20.29 so am about 3.5% down

@RealDadInvests Yep, my average is around 20.80, missed a big opportunity over the past month to lower my average

Taken some time to learn to be okay with red days 📉 Taken even longer to get excited by them 😅 As a long-term investor, lower prices just means when I buy, I get more shares. Nice to see UKW climb above my average for the first time in a while though!

All eyes on Thursday for me 👀💰 Dividend payments due from: 📈 LGEN — £36.81 ✈️ BAE — £2.87 Love it when money just lands in the account for holding shares 🤝 Anyone else holding either of them?

@finsightt Last couple of days has seen me fall below my average but just an opportunity to lower that!

@RealDadInvests Love BAE but they’ve been letting my portfolio down recently😂 Doesn’t matter at all long term though

@Mikethejourney1 Could happen if more than one thing happen at one. Working towards 6 months expenses in ours. If loose a job or big house expense or car etc adds up!

@RealDadInvests 8k as an emergency ?

Be honest with me. I have £15,728 in a Cash ISA at 3.75%. My Stocks ISA made 6.4% in ONE month. I know I need an emergency fund. But this feels like too much dead money. Where would YOU put it? 👇📈

Good morning all 👋 Hope everyone had a great weekend. 1st of the month = direct debit day 💸😅 Today’s damage: 🏠 £1,770 mortgage ⚡ £126 gas & electricity 🐶 £65 pet insurance 🌐 £33 broadband 🏡 £33 buildings & contents insurance Still to come: Nursery Water Council tax

@40investor 18 months + not every ‘dip’ has to be bought

I want to connect with: UK Investors who are beginning their journey and wanting to build a tribe to support one another. Let me know how long you’ve been trading and what your biggest learnings have been so far…

£8.23 from UKW dividends landed today 💰🌿 Straight back in 🤝📈 Slowly building the snowball one payment at a time.

@Jameslam32 You too bud

@RealDadInvests Hey! Thanks! That makes sense, and I never thought of it this way, just focused on diversifying my portfolio with global stocks (mainly US!). Look forward to keeping track of your journey!
