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.

@tony97159274 The amount of energy we export to the grid and get paid for doing so, covers it

@RealDadInvests What about standing charges

Recently went solar and this is why ⬇️ We have no electricity bills for 9 months of the year.

Slowly building the passive income side of the portfolio 📈 Current monthly dividend average: £20.95/month First Goal: £50/month Yield: 4.79% Yield on cost: 5.14% Still early days, but seeing the income slowly grow is honestly one of the most motivating parts of investing

Today’s buys 🤝 More into LGEN and AVIVA than usual after I sold my MAIN position and put into O. Here’s my normal : £80 -VAUG £25 - O £22.50 - JNJ £22 - AV £21.50 - LGEN £20 — RELX £16 — BARC £15 — HSBC £15 — GSK £13.50 — NG £13.50 — BAE £13 — NXT £13 — UKW £10 — ULVR

Which dividend tracking apps does everyone use? I’ve been using DivTracker but after checking the buys I’ve added shares held is slightly out from T212. Suggestions please

@GrowthStockDad Love this and your page bud 💙

My son is 7 years old His stock portfolio has already survived: - a global pandemic - bear markets - wars - inflation - rate hikes - recession fears - banking crises - constant fear everywhere And you know what his portfolio did? - kept buying - kept compounding - kept growing The ultimate lesson in patience Buy ownership in great companies and give them time That’s literally it

@Kezzdog42 Cheers Kezz 🤝☕️

@RealDadInvests Love this 👌🏼

Got another £80 for me and £100 for my daughter queued into VUAG 📈 I’m holding 17 shares. She’s holding 12.9 already 😅 She’s got 30 years of compounding on me and would have £14,000 on 8% year returns and didn’t put another penny in. 🤯

Morning ☕️ Payday investing day for me today 🤝 Adding to the rest of my portfolio and sticking to the plan. Nothing fancy. Just consistently buying quality companies month after month. Anybody else buying today? 💸

@The_Money_Buddy 250k, invest it and double my income through dividends ✅

You’re 27. Would you rather have: A) $250k invested OR B) A guarantee your income doubles tomorrow Interesting question.

How .60% gains feel

@antibearthesis Time in the market > timing the market !

People waiting for a dip watching the S&P 500 hit ATHs every single day

@investingwithAL 🤑💚

Good start for the portfolio after the look bank holiday weekend. Up just over £2k. 🔥🔥🔥 Let’s see if it holds during market open.

@KieranT1000 Best chance is to invest for your kids early on, so they have that deposit to get them started. Thats what I’m doing anyway

Coming from a 23 year old in the UK 🇬🇧 The property ladder is dead for our generation. Stop saving for a deposit that’ll never come and start learning to invest properly Your parents’ advice worked in the 90s, it’s financial suicide now. Who’s with me on building wealth the new gen ways 💰

@Brogan01122972 Pay yourself first 🤝

Invest every paycheck. You won’t regret it!

@harryinmarkets Yes Harry 🚀

Opened Trading 212 on my lunch break and nearly choked on my sandwich🥪 (jk) Portfolio just crossed £30,000. From £0. To four figures. To five figures. Now this. No lucky windfall. Just consistency, patience, and letting compounding do its thing. 📈 If you’re early in your journey — keep going. The milestones start coming faster than you think. 🚀

@financefraz £16K more than £0 - keep at it 🧱

Feeling bit disappointed….green day all over the place but only up £230 overall as I had to take £2500 out of my Investments last week Down to £16k which seems rubbish at 41 now 😭😭 Busy month ahead as well so already reduced my standing order this month Someone tell me I’m being stupid…

@elliot3556 Let’s go 🚂

Creeping towards £8k 🫣

@Bucksignals Red days = buying days ✅

£230 pounds down on the portfolio today But that’s the prime time to buy the dips 💷

Cheeky buy of BAE before market close as fell under 2,000p I’m now 1.93% down on my position of 13.3 shares so saw an opportunity to average down. BAE is 5% of my dividend payers 💸

Just wait for the announcement of un-realised capital gains tax within your ISA’s
