Real Dad Invests 👨🏻‍🍼

UK dad building wealth one paycheck at a time.
Investing | Dividends | Mortgage | Real-life money. NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE.

[Real Dad Invests 👨🏻‍🍼 @RealDadInvests]

Just a normal dad in the UK aiming for a better life for my family.

£50k salary.
Mortgage.
Kids.
Investing monthly anyway.

I’ll be sharing:
- portfolio updates
- dividends
- salary/budgeting thoughts
- honest money feelings
- real progress

No fake guru stuff. Just the journey.

@Jameslam32 Thanks bud.

Everyone has warned that 1+1=1000.
It’s the lack of sleep that’ll hit me hardest I think 😴

Taking a week off to make some memories with my daughter before baby boy arrives 👶💙

Portfolio is comfortably over £8,500 and up £25 this week, but that’s not what I’m most excited about.

Time with family > everything.

Will be a bit quieter on here next week 😊

@drayinvests Hear me out, ULVR

@NashFlow98 This is why I love dividends, helps to soften the red!

Happy birthday 🍻

@TJ_LFC1 £36.82 for me 🤝

[Real Dad Invests 👨🏻‍🍼 @RealDadInvests]

Thanks for the free 13.5 shares LGEN 🤝

HSBC down 5.5% today. 📉

ChatGPT doesn’t think 5.5% down in a day is a dip worth buying into

Do you agree?

I hold 32.5 shares and am up 31%

LGEN dividend day today 💰

This time last year I received £1.23

Today it will be £36.81

Nothing clever. Nothing complicated.

Just sticking to my plan, reinvesting dividends and watching the snowball ❄️

Honestly, one of the biggest reasons I started investing was fear.

Fear that I’d get to 50/60 and realise I’d left it too late.

Mad that over 125 people now follow me to hear me:

🥵Stress about cost of life with a 3 year old and baby about to arrive

😍Get excited over small dividends

🧱Trying to build something for my family one pay-check at time

Really enjoyed chatting to everyone so far. 💙

Markets seem to be rebounded from yesterday..

Would love to see it tick over £8,500 😍

How’s your portfolio doing so far?

[Real Dad Invests 👨🏻‍🍼 @RealDadInvests]

@ben__investing 😮‍💨 I am very much looking forward to the day I cross 5 figures!

[Real Dad Invests 👨🏻‍🍼 @RealDadInvests]

@ben__investing No coming back from this 😅

[Real Dad Invests 👨🏻‍🍼 @RealDadInvests]

Looking at nursery costs for our baby boy already which feels mad considering he’s not even born yet 😅

Was shocked that 4 days in somehow seems basically double the cost of 3 days.

Does anyone here do term-time only nursery?

If so how does that work around full time jobs?

@CapitalIQ100k Lovely gains! 🚀
