My biweekly paycheck and tax returns have finally hit my bank account! With the funds in place, I’ve taken the opportunity to invest over 80% of it. Since I’m moving at the end of this month, my expenses for next month are expected to drop by more than 60%. Thanks to those upcoming savings, I’ve decided to take initiative and pour my money into the stock market and cryptocurrency.
Despite the markets taking a hit due to the uncertainty surrounding Donald Trump’s leadership—though personally, I believe he's making strong economic moves with tariffs—I’m not letting this opportunity go to waste. Bitcoin has fallen by roughly 16% since the start of the year. Dogecoin has dropped around 52%, Litecoin by 31%, and Bitcoin Cash is down about 36%.
This time, I’m being a bit more strategic. A solid portion of my investments has gone into dividend stocks, where I’m expecting an annual return of around 5–6% through dividends. On the crypto side, I’ve started building my portfolio with Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin. I plan to pick up Dogecoin either by the end of this month or the beginning of next month when my next paycheck arrives.
The markets are about to get wild—and I’m absolutely ready for it!
