Portfolio update February 2020


Hello and welcome, here is my investment portfolio update for February 2020.

First of all, sorry for taking so long to post my February’s portfolio update.

March has been crazy due to the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Estonia has already declared state’s crisis to prevent the widespread of disease. Businesses have closed doors and people have stocked up on foods and other supplies. I recommend to reimain calm and watch your hygiene. Try staying indoors and if you have a lot of free time because of the disease, read books and educate yourself.

And finally, if anyone could tell me what’s up with the hoarding of toilet paper? Leave a comment down below, thank you.

Anyways, enough of words, let’s get back to my portfolio update!

Let’s dive deeper into the numbers

A decent bounce back from the loss from Envestio. Money is making money as it should.

I have a concern that the widespread of Coronavirus disease may impact my e-shop sales. Why? My products are not primary commodity and in a state of crisis they won’t sell that well. On the other hand it may boost the sales because customers are staying put at homes, avoiding physical contact and making orders through the e-shops more than usual.

Mintos

I have a total of 5000 euros invested in Mintos and in February my account didn’t have any cashdrag problems and generated me 53,9€ of interests.
Also, I noticed that my Net Annual Return came up from 11.6% to 13.32%, which is a good sign.

Envestio

As we all know, Kuetzal announced it’s shutting down on January 12th 2020. But just few days later on January 16th 2020, Envestio sent out a press release about “Envestio reacts to Kuetzal panic”. And as we again all already know, all of that was just BS. Envestio is also down and a scam just like Kuetzal was.

My Envestio “interest income” in euros

As most or maybe even all of the projects at Envestio might’ve been fake, I don’t think that it’s wise for me to even consider “interest income” from the previous projects and just write off my initial investment of 500€.

Bondora 

In June 2018, I decided to exit from Bondora. A year has gone by and I don’t even miss Bondora! It was the first platform I started investing in with just 10.1€ being the first deposit. Crazy right? It has served me well, even though I made lots of rookie mistakes, I am exiting with positive vibes. Farewell Bondora!

Exited from Bondora with a loss of 65,57€!

I do not recommend investing at Bondora, but if you still want to, be sure to read my Bondora review first!

Omaraha

The interest rates from Omaraha are steady, but due to the loss from sold loans the profit from Omaraha stays between 60-70€ usually.

Sadly, this time total profit from Omaraha accounts were 52,81€.

Side hustles

#1 Blog income: TargetCircle/CircleWise and Bonusway

In June I decided to put the blog income from affiliate/referral system and other side hustles incoome into the same graph, hence the numbers are a bit bigger now. This is the part where it gets interesting.

In February the blog and referral comissions generated 187,91€;
Other side hustles generated: 201,52€;
Total income from side hustles: 389,43€.Financefreedom blog and side hustle income in euros february 2020

More detailed payout from TargetCircle/CircleWise:

Targetcircle referral income side-hustle february 2020

I display two different incomes under the blog income. One is referral income from TargetCircle and the other one is affiliate income from Bonusway. Bonusway – I use it to save money while e-shopping or booking ONLINE. Read more at https://financefreedom.eu/save-money-when-e-shopping-or-booking-online/ A really simple way to save up money, especially on housing and from them random orders on AliExpress … (You know what I mean, we’ve all done it!) Considering this blog is mostly dedicated to finance and logging my pursuit on becoming financially free, the TargetCircle referral links usually earn me a lot more than Bonusway affiliate links or any other side hustle income.

#2 E-shop income

The first month of 2020 had a pretty decent start for my e-shop. The second one was a bit slower, truth be told it had 2 days less, but still.

February’s total revenue: 496,28€.

Shipping costs: 41,90€.

Total profit from sales: 196,42€.

Blog stats for February 2020

A total of 4792 (-15,29%) visitors visited my blog and had a total of 8780 (-28,62%) views. Which was expected, due to the Kuetzal and Envestio scams blowing up in January and having smaller impact in February.

Finance Freedom

Hi! My name is Lukas, I am in my mid 20’s and I am an engineer from Estonia. I started investing at 2014, so I have been investing for over 6 years. In addition, I was 20 years old, when I started my first company and just 21 years of age, when I made my first investments. I was hooked instantly! In this blog I will be documenting my journey towards financial freedom.

    1. Hey John!
      Me and my partners sold one of our properties due to bad location and constant problems.
      The other real-estate property is superb and only keeps on producing.
