Hi, I'm Chloe.

I'm 20 years old and today I put my first £200 into my Stocks & Shares ISA

I haven't invested it yet because I want to understand why I'm buying something, not just copy other people

Right now I'm researching VWRP as a long-term investment

All advice is welcome

@PrincipledAli Good morning, Ali 🌞

@shaguncrypto I’m 20 and buying a house honestly hasn’t even crossed my mind yet.

I’d rather see more of the world first, then think about where I actually want to settle.

[Chloe @ChloInvests]

If you were 20 again, would you pay more attention to your pension, or was putting nearer goals first the right choice for you?

What happened later that shaped your answer?

[Chloe @ChloInvests]

@nav_dhand This seems to be the most common one.

I can see why taking a profit feels sensible in the moment though.

[Chloe @ChloInvests]

What was the first investing mistake you made that actually changed how you behaved afterwards?

I've only just started, so the stories are more useful to me than another list of rules.

[Chloe @ChloInvests]

@ChrisDB101 That’s a useful warning.

Something having done well recently can feel like proof you’re making the right choice, when it might be the exact reason to slow down.

Thanks for sharing.

[Chloe @ChloInvests]

@SammyFutures That sounds exhausting. I can see how checking too often would make it much harder to leave things alone, so I’m trying not to build that habit.

[Chloe @ChloInvests]

@M1CPW You too, Christian

Good morning, FinX Family 🌞

Happy Monday!

[Chloe @ChloInvests]

@RMBFinance Noted, I guess it's hard with individual stocks to time this right.

@MyLegoBookFund Good morning, Roxy 🌞

@EllisInvest You too, Ellis

@investwithjohn9 You too, John

Good morning, FinX Family 🌞

Happy Sunday!

@Mapago9 Good morning, I didn't know next week was going to be volatile. So I wasn't prepared, but I am now, thanks! 😃

@ChrisDB101 Thank you, Chris

First Friday portfolio update 📊

My £200 is worth £197.04 after week one.

I’m sharing this every Friday so I can look back at the whole journey, not only post when it’s going well.

Being down £2.96 after seven days doesn’t bother me. Week one was never going to tell me much.

[Chloe @ChloInvests]

@DividendDrip I don't want to wish my life away but I am so excited to see where we all are in 20 - 30 years time.

I really get the sense that FinX is going to hold me accountable to the good decisions I've made so far.

That alone, is a great reason to be here.

[Chloe @ChloInvests]

If you could go back to 20, would you chase higher pay, work you enjoyed more, or extra free time?

Which choice mattered most in the life you ended up with?
