As I mentioned a few days ago one of my goals until I get 30 years old was to reach € 100k net worth. 5 years ago I read a lot (huge shout out to all the experts in the German Wertpapier Community) and decided I will go the unamusing but proven route of a “classic world portfolio”: 70% MSCI World and 30% Emerging Markets.

I tried to stick with my initial defined strategy through all the years and therefore my way to 100k was rather boring as you see in the following chart:

I had monthly investment plans since I started my journey and once per year did a bit of rebalancing when I received my yearly bonus. That’s it!
