5 years ago I knew very little about money, I just liked to save it. Then I started educating myself in personal finances and investing and so I understood that my saved money was losing value on inflation every year by just sitting in the bank account. Equipped with the right knowledge, tools and skills, I started investing my money to profit from the magic and power of compound interest. I built an investment portfolio based on index funds, single stocks, real estate and now my own business. I realised I could manage my own portfolio, no need for the middlemen. In 2021 I founded Investors Abroad to support expat and international women living in Germany to demystify the stock market and build a strong financial future. I am an independent financial coach, not a financial advisor.
