  1. As a German, I would recommend to diversify stocks or ETF worldwide. For me, it seems that most of American stocks are overrated, their P/E ratios are quite high. The inverse of the P/E ratio can be interpreted as the yield to be expected in the future. Thus, a high P/E ratio gives poor yield. Nevertheless, you always have think about, how economy will develop in the future (what currently gives a very bad view for Germany, but not for German companies with worldwide activities).

  2. Grateful for the focus on consistency. IN what way can I START INVESTING this 2025 as a BEGINNER and be successful with more or less than 5k?

  3. I’m sorry but I noticed 2 things: 1) no mention of tax strategy. 2). Not everyone has millions saved that will create enough for dividends and interest to live in the first 5 years. I don’t agree with your assessment.

  4. The cash drag in the green bucket, and the low returns on the bonds & dividends in the yellow bucket will not keep up with inflation. This plan is guaranteed to fail. Read research papers by Michael Kitces or Professor Estrada of Barcelona who have both studied this method and ran thousands of simulations.
