Portfolio Update – $315K
Portfolio Update – Now at $315.85K
Hey guys,
Portfolio just crossed $315,850 ✅
Today I deployed the new paycheck:
• $2,000 into SGOV (20 shares)
• ~$490 into VT
New total ≈ $315.85K
Why this split?
I’m honestly scared of getting laid off. I work long physical shifts + a lot of overtime at a big car factory. I’ve seen too many people lose their jobs suddenly, so I’m building a bigger safety cushion in SGOV right now — it’s stable and won’t crash if I lose my income.
Added VT to slightly increase global diversification and not be too heavy in US stocks (S&P 500 is still ~55%).
This is my simple routine: get paid → invest → repeat. Built mostly on overtime money.
Question:
Do you work overtime to save and invest more? Or are you focusing on other ways to increase your income?
Final note:
If you see anything stupid in my portfolio or you would do something differently — feel free to tell me. I’m always open to advice from more experienced investors.
