The first 100.000€ are hard to reach, while the next come easier and easier. Why is that the case?
Let's find out by looking at the power of compound interest, theoretical vs. actual returns in ETFs like the Vanguard FTSE All-World and MSCI World, as well as other reasons why investing gets easier and more rewarding once you reach €100K. You'll also discover how long it took me to reach this milestone and what happened since!

Maybe one of the best of your videos but I should also consider EUR/USD chaging rate all the time, EUR exsistence in the long term (Dont forget that Euro was only created at 00's - not so long ago, there is no guarantee it will exist next 20 years) Thank you very much for sharing and good luck!

@AngeloColomboFi 10 месяцев назад

Thank you, I'm happy to hear that! Exactly, one more reason to invest in productive assets like stocks/ETFs instead of only holding cash, as these protect your wealth from inflation and changing currencies long-term :)

@user-xm3og5nj2y 10 месяцев назад

Hi Angelo, aren't you afraid that the ETF's are not hedged against exchange rate changes eur/usd? I mean there is high possibility that Euro gets stronger against dollar in the next couple of years, since it sits on historical lows at the moment.

@AngeloColomboFi 10 месяцев назад

Not really, hedged ETFs are not worth it anyway if you look at their abysmal performance (way worse than the higher fees alone would suggest). I don't have a crystal ball regarding EUR/USD, but to be honest I'm more worried about the Euro's future than the dollar. Either way, by holding stocks from all across the world we have some currency diversification.

@cybermewt 10 месяцев назад

One thing to consider though (and I didn't hear it being mentioned) is that the 22k/year he talks about at the beginning after 300k invested, is before taxes and whatever % or fee does the platform get. So those 22k/year, after taxes and on a monthly-basis are like 1.350€/month for two people which if you both have jobs and costs covered is great. Another complete different story is living out of those 1350€, without any other source of income. Having said that, great video. Trying to get into this world myself, also based in Austria and quite worried I'm gonna end up losing most of my money in fees, ETF crashes and taxes. But your videos really help :)

@ericjonathanpaglia552 10 месяцев назад

Ciao Angelo, nice video and different from usual. One feedback is that in addition to the rate of return you should also consider the inflation rate that can impact on your investment over time.

@AngeloColomboFi 10 месяцев назад

Thank you Eric! That's true, just didn't want to make the video too long. The backtests on Curvo are a good resource as they have a section comparing nominal returns with real (inflation-adjusted) returns: curvo.eu/backtest/

@AngeloColomboFi 10 месяцев назад

@AECH_CH 10 месяцев назад

No? Not everyone wants to commit geographically - a house is more often than not a lifestyle decision, not an investment. Also you're not back to 0, you tie the capital to your house, which gives you "dividends" in the form of saved rent.

@sanderman0 10 месяцев назад

Given total inflation since 1994 in euros and dollars. Perhaps we should update this phrase to: "Why the first 184.000€ (or 200.000$) is so hard. (and the next easy)" Ultimately what you want is to grow the wealth number to a high enough value that its accelerating growth rate starts to outstrip your savings rate, earned income from your labour and your costs of living. When the nominal values inflate over time, we should also adjust measuring yardsticks like this 100.000 number, as today 100.000 represents a different amount of time, effort and value than it did many years ago. Since I invest in global index funds, what I would like to know and have trouble finding solid information on myself is: Are there any economists or institutions doing estimates on what will be the Compound Annual Growth Rate for the next few decades for certain regions and more importantly for the entire world economy? (real growth after adjusting for currency inflation) Will I even be able to outrun/out-invest the demographic aging problem at all, and then live a comfortable early retirement in a nice city condo which I currently cannot afford yet? Or will I see my investments go up at barely any higher rate than the costs of living? I suppose things like geopolitics, dumbass authoritarian leaders starting wars and diminishing economic integration between nations would put downwards pressure on global growth, while new technology like automation and robotics have the potential to add a lot of upwards pressure. But i find it really hard to determine how much influence each of these factors will have.

@AngeloColomboFi 10 месяцев назад

Of course inflation is a factor, but 100k is a nice round number to this day, just like a million will always sound nice, even if it buys less compared to a few decades ago. The problem is, nobody can predict the future. All I will say is that pessimism rarely works out when it comes to investing, so I choose to be optimistic based on the past >100 years of historical data.

@sanderman0 10 месяцев назад

@@AngeloColomboFi Yeah you're right it is a nice round number. I suppose psychology is big one here. 100k still feels like a big number even today. Great video btw. Keep up the good work! You'll help out a lot of people. I wish I would have seen a video like this about wealth compound growth many years ago when I was in school learning exponential functions. Maybe if I had I would have liked math more and might have started investing 12 years ago instead of 4 years.

This isn't something that should paralyze you - choose a broad diversified world ETF and if you're unsure, I'd say jsut go for distributing - you can always switch up and buy the acc. version if you don't need any dividends. It's also not clear to us how taxation will change in the future, so we simply don't know. Not investing however is costing you more money than the minimal tax optimization of acc. vs dist. funds.

how are accumulating ETFs taxed in Austria? I know in Ireland you're taxed on the increase of your portfolio every 7 years or so, even though it is unearned income.

@AngeloColomboFi 10 месяцев назад

You still have to pay a small amount of tax every year, with Vanguard ETFs (the most tax efficient based on my research), it ends up being a bit less than the tax you would otherwise pay on paid out dividends. Luckily it's nowhere near as bad as Ireland, that system just makes no sense to me :/
