I turned 32 a month ago. Full-time IT job, wife, two young kids, house with a mortgage that still feels big some days. Portfolio: ~€50k in ETFs/stocks Cash buffer: €40k (emergency + opportunities) Light crypto/collectibles: ~€10k Home equity: ~€380k after mortgage Total net worth: ~€480k-ish Not flashy. Not retired early. Not a crypto whale. But: • We’re homeowners in our early 30s (most peers still rent) • We sleep at night with a fat cash cushion • No lifestyle creep eating our gains • We’re deeply involved in our kids’ lives I have an amazing life! What I’m trying to do is keep this current lifestyle forever by steadily growing the portfolio. I tried to outline how I came to what I have and what my plans are in the mentioned article. I'd be happy if you'd give it a read and tell me what you think. x.com/SteadyPup/stat…

@Polymarket In Austria many people live too comfortably. Life is still a bit too easy and I see it in my everyday life. I know what I am talking about. And it shows. Austria also partially depends on tourism. Sure, in this case Germans want to go to Italy but the problem is deeper.

Today was a beautiful day, spent it with the family and did some garden work with the kids. We have some strawberry plants and even though the bought strawberries might taste almost the same, nothing beats watching your kids going and eating them directy!

@DudeWhoInvests It is very high 🤣

Elon Musk’s net worth can’t possibly go higher… Elon’s net worth:

@randgroup What 😮

Tether buying more Gold than China was not on my bingo card

@randgroup where is the red?

Doctor said my portfolio was giving me a heart condition. Two tablets a day and now I just stare at the red and feel nothing 👍

@Stealthct_Storm Funny enough, I am at the same number I am also actively working on keeping it that way by making adjustments to my lifestyle all in all I have a deflationary lifestyle right now

What is your magic number? How much would you need to have invested to say: "Okay, now I am free" ?

@Stealthct_Storm They are part of my ETFs - no need for me to FOMO in 😄

@Kalshi I really don't like that... It would come in so high NasdaQ-100 would have to buy it after 15 days... with only a few % float

JUST IN: SpaceX reportedly looking to go public at valuation of $1.8 trillion

@Polymarket New tensions - just what we needed

NEW: U.S. says it condemns Russia’s reckless incursion in Romania & vows to “defend every inch of NATO territory.”

@TheAlphaThought Well, but they are not necessarily use it for water/power infrastructure and you pay for water and electricity on a seperate bill. I'd rather have a system use taxes for a designed purpose (at least 90%) so it's always clear what you are paying (taxes) for.

JUST IN: Warren Buffett indicator hits all-time high — indicating "most expensive" stock market ever.

@TheAlphaThought Nice! Rent where I live just keeps going up for quite a while now... So do house prices... Our house gaines over 60% in value since we bought it 6 years ago even though interest is higher than back then...

@SteadyPup My rent fell over the last 3 years.

Telling young people to "buy a house" as their primary wealth strategy is the most outdated financial advice in 2026. Property taxes. Maintenance. Illiquidity. Mortgage interest. A $500k portfolio generates income, compounds daily, and costs you nothing to maintain. A $500k house sends you a bill every month. Agree or disagree?

@KobeissiLetter You now since you invest also in an Emerging Market ETF :

BREAKING: South Korea's stock market rises to a fresh record high, now up +101% in 2026, as AI stocks surge.

Microsoft has $80 billion in Azure orders it can't fill. Not for lack of demand. For lack of power.

@Dom_Investing Apparently you eating black pasta and the market being green correlate. Sorry Dom, but looks like you will eat black pasta every day now...

Since you guys enjoyed it so much, I'm eating black pasta again 😅 Market greeeeen 📈 How's your day going?

@ducksays Anthropic are killing it, but that valuation is just too much...

tell me we're in a bubble, without telling me we're in a bubble.

@stockmom I think we will see more stablecoins popping up - it's quite profitable However, USDC is pretty much on any chain already so it will be interesting to see how SoFiUSD will help SoFi grow further

$SOFI over $18 in premarket‼️ SoFi Technologies shares are trading higher after the company announced that SoFiUSD, a U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin, is available for members to buy, sell, hold and convert directly within the banking app.

@BlackMambaMilli It looks great! Good job!
