💸 Update: My Global Stocks Adventure 🌍📈

💸 Update: My Global Stocks Adventure 🌍📈 Hey fam! 👋 This year has been a whole financial glow-up! ✨ I rearranged my finances, did some serious research, listened, learned, and wow… the rabbit hole goes deep 😅 The most exciting thing I did? I finally dipped my toes into global stock investing! 🌎💰 So, I registered on IBKR and started buying stocks in the US stock market — yep, your girl went international! Here’s how it’s going so far 👇 💼 My Journey (so far!): I’ve invested a total of $829 — just testing the waters, learning as I go. 🔹 JOBY Aviation: Bought 4 shares around $17.27, sold them at $15.72 each. Took a small “L” — about –$6.83 total (–9.9%). Did it hurt? A little. But hey, kichwa ngumu 😆… I had to experiment with my hard-earned pesa! 💪🏾 🔹 Apple 🍏: Currently holding 2 shares bought at $258.27 each. Market price now? $275.25! That’s a +6.6% gain — unrealized profit of about $33.96. Not bad, eh? 👏 🔹 SCHD ETF: Got 1 share at $27.24, currently at $27.18 — down a teeny –0.2%. Basically, a flat line. 😅 Now, I won’t bore you with my less-glamorous trades (yes, there are some 😭), but let’s just say — this year I’ve learned more about money than in my previous 40+ years combined! I’ve lost, I’ve gained, but most importantly — I’ve learned. 🙌 💬 My takeaway: Money is not just for spending — it’s for understanding. Have those “moneyversations”! 💵 Ask questions, share your stories, laugh at your losses, celebrate your wins. This community is for learning together — so don’t be shy! You might just surprise yourself. 😉 See you in my next post, and as always — Siku njema!!! 🌞
