Investing For Retirement

I am an active professional soccer player by day and a financial writer by night. I’ve had a successful soccer career so far, having played over 300 professional games in countries such as the UK, Germany, Holland, Poland etc. I’ve also had the honour of representing my country and playing at the highest level of club competition in Europe – Champions League and Europa League. I started investing, to make sure that I have another income source in place, by the time I retire from football.

About me

My Story

In my late 20’s I also started to document my investing journey publicly, to inspire and educate others. That has led to building an awesome community of investors across various platforms.

It hasn’t always been smooth sailing for me. I have been released from my club many times and having to move to another country without notice. I’ve spent months without knowing where the next paycheck will come from. This instability and unpredictability is part of being a professional athlete.

How I Invest

  • My goal is to have a passive income stream covering all my expenses in retirement.
  • The plan for achieving it, is investing around 40% of each salary into income-producing assets. Income-producing assets that I have chosen for the job, are dividend growth stocks.
  • You can read my article here, explaining why they are the best assets for my personal goals. Essentially, stocks represent ownership stakes in businesses. So I am buying small pieces of great companies that share their profits with all shareholders.
  • Companies share their profits with owners through regular dividend payments.
  • Dividends are paid in cash – so my investing success doesn’t depend on stock price appreciation. What matters, is business performance. If the company I’m invested in keeps turning a profit and sharing it with me – the shareholder, I’m set. This slice of company profits from diversified investments is what I will live off once I retire from professional sports.
