$25/week to reach Financial Freedom – Starting Today
Welcome to the very first post of this long-term investment journey.
Every week, I will invest $25 USD, splitting the capital into a diversified strategy aimed at achieving financial independence:
- 80% → VUG (Vanguard Growth ETF)
- 10% → HIVE (Hive blockchain token)
- 10% → BTC (Bitcoin)
The goal is simple: consistency over time. This simulation will track portfolio growth, reinvestment, and market fluctuations. We start from zero, with Week 1 investment executed today.

📉 Market Insight of the Week
📍 The market is navigating through moderate volatility.
- VUG shows sustained strength due to long-term U.S. tech expectations.
- BTC trades at historically high levels, but remains attractive for long-term exponential trends.
- HIVE is at a low range, potentially favorable for accumulation strategies.
🧠 Strategy reminder: We don't aim to time the market, but to prioritize time in the market. Consistency and discipline are key to compounding growth.
🔂 What Comes Next?
✔ Each week, we will:
- Add $25 USD to the portfolio.
- Update VUG, HIVE, and BTC prices.
- Compute new average cost and portfolio value.
- Display gains or losses in both USD and %.
- Expand the performance chart.
📅 At the end of every year, we’ll perform an annual summary and a projection toward financial freedom.
📢 Final Thoughts – Week 1
