Invested Interest

25 year old starting late to the investing journey after making poor financial decisions.

[Invested Interest @cloudbets_]

For years I've been telling myself to invest properly. For years I kept putting it off and making poor financial decisions.

I have decided to document my investing journey to keep myself honest. It won't be perfect, but it'll be better than not at all.

Starting 2026 with this:

@StocksandDares US stock market opens around that time

[Invested Interest @cloudbets_]

@Hammer_On_X @123db_GEEK @CallumLyon These arguments are so funny because do you think that rent is only for the odd year?

[Invested Interest @cloudbets_]

@Hammer_On_X @123db_GEEK @CallumLyon Yeah and so does paying 500 extra rent? What's your point lol

[Invested Interest @cloudbets_]

@123db_GEEK @CallumLyon Well there you are then, you plan in the expected costs for an old property and the things that may go wrong with them

[Invested Interest @cloudbets_]

@123db_GEEK Perhaps 'insanely' is a bit much, but seems high. But I suppose that depends entirely what kind of house you bought and the state it was in

[Invested Interest @cloudbets_]

@123db_GEEK @CallumLyon That seems an insanely high amount. I've been in mine a little over a year and maybe max £500 getting a service done on my heat pump and fixing a couple niggles like re-caulking and minor plumbing leaks

[Invested Interest @cloudbets_]

@JHWealthSystems Omoda E5, they did a 'special offer' as a pre-registered car. Nothing else was at a reasonable price at all. Closest to it was the Volvo EX30 which I didn't really like when I test drove, but that was over £400pm

[Invested Interest @cloudbets_]

@1cornishblue My little RX-8 is nearly £800 a year 🥲

Tiny little thing, sure it goes through fuel and oil quicker than the US Army but still..

[Invested Interest @cloudbets_]

@swanson_ji41137 @DividendDrip In fairness, it's at support rn

[Invested Interest @cloudbets_]

@DividendDrip @SimonKi97967462 Spanked

[Invested Interest @cloudbets_]

@DividendDrip Just checked and it's down 5% today. Guess it doesn't always work 🤣

[Invested Interest @cloudbets_]

@123db_GEEK @CallumLyon No shit you won't get a boiler for £500, but it's something you factor in when buying, how old, service history etc. Just like a car, you take the risk. If banks think that there are an additional 4-5k costs every year on a purchase then that's what's backwards

[Invested Interest @cloudbets_]

@123db_GEEK @CallumLyon Yeah because that extra £500 being available to use to save or invest is totally useless huh

[Invested Interest @cloudbets_]

@pirateblakbird My LTF analysis would probably have to be something like this.

Although probably becomes more complex and drawn out

[Invested Interest @cloudbets_]

@pirateblakbird Not long to go. July seems reasonable for reversal. This is a long complex correction but will make for a beautiful trade for new ATH and beyond

[Invested Interest @cloudbets_]

Rachel taxing us in any way humanly possible, draining our souls via taxes and then turns around with a random £1.3 billion for this

Unbelievable

[Sky News @SkyNews]

BREAKING: Europe's first Universal theme park is being built in the UK with £1.3bn in taxpayer support, it has been announced

Chancellor Rachel Reeves says that 'the £1.3bn is for infrastructure. It is for the roads and a new railway station.'

@BareLeft The young farmers crews are absolutely riddled with Reform voters, purely because of farming policies. My little brother is one and he's a little cunt lol

[Invested Interest @cloudbets_]

@2147mill Already up 25% premarket lol, up 300% last couple months
