What Investing $5 a Day Looks Like After 3 Years - (Robinhood Portfolio)

🔍 Is investing just $5 a day worth it, or is it a waste of time? In this video, I break down my 3-year investing challenge, where I’ve been investing $5 a day into the stock market and another $5 a day into Ethereum since January 2022. We’ll analyze my portfolio, check if I’m up or down, and tackle some major misconceptions about investing small amounts over time.

[@alicecojocaru7290]

Happy to see you back on, you’ve been missed. I’m doing $10/day in 2 different accounts. Thank you for inspiring me!

[@BobSharpe]

That is awesome! And thank you, I’m glad to be back!!

[@wadebrewer7212]

Nicely done

[@dizzygamer8063]

Remember Bob, you don’t lose anything until you sell. Your portfolio may have lost value, but you haven’t “lost” the money until you sell and withdraw.

[@MoreChannelNoise]

Cant afford 5 dollars a day, then they call in a shop and buy their cigarettes and beer

[@blackmanta66]

£5 a day is great, but make sure you live life. When you're 50 and rich you don't want to regret missing out on your youth. Spend reasonably and good luck investing.

[@Deitricklaverne]

yeah that's a good path, focus on a good strategy, relax back and watch it compound within the years. In good time you'll see returns.

[@Deitricklaverne]

Financial planning and retirement strategies are crucial, especially in today's economic climate. With global economic fluctuations and uncertainties, it's essential to have a solid plan in place to protect your financial future.

[@V.stones]

Agreed, it's why I've always delegated my excesses to an advisor, since suffering major portfolio loss early 2020, amid covid outbreak. I'm now semi-retired and only work 7.5 hours a week, with barely 25% short of my $1m retirement goal after subsequent investments to date.

[@Sanchyfab]

Well with the ever-changing global economy, tax laws and regulations can also vary, impacting how investments are taxed. It's essential to stay informed and plan strategies accordingly.

[@benjamineprg4249]

Sounds interesting! Can you share your investment advisor's information? I'm looking for one to help me plan for retirement.

[@benjamineprg4249]

Honestly this cannot be overemphasized, helping people mitigate unforseen circumstances and mistakes .It's always good to have a financial plan,

[@Aplakanto]

Welcome back Bob we miss you !

[@kylehassig1448]

My inspiration to start investing, keep on keeping on!

[@chicarbiomed]

You “lost”? They should call you Bob “Diamond hands” Sharpe. You know you only lose when you sell. Keep inspiring!

[@2902JM]

Lucky us in Chile, we have commission-free brokers to invest in the US market, so no need for Webull or Robinhood for now! 😄 Great video! I’ve been waiting for it for a couple of weeks! Let's keep this $5 a day alive for many more years 🚀

[@Dean_R1]

Great video Bob, inspiring the younger generation with fantastic advice. Credit to you buddy.

[@WINDYCITY911]

Am 62 yrs old and am starting tomorrow Monday 2/10/25. Thanks for this video

[@RosarioBillingsley]

You're great. I've got to get a $5 a day account.

[@wzcfd3]

I’ve been doing it since graduated from college. It’s over 25 yrs and still keeping up. 😊

[@Lstacker]

🎉welcome back 🎉

[@JustinScott-z7g]

I’ve literally been waiting what feels like so long for this video lol!

[@TheJubess]

Probably a year :D

[@valdezrandle6862]

Ima try at least to drop 155 a month 🎉I’m with you guys on this journey just turned 30 let’s goooooo

[@PeteReinert]

Nice intro Bob!

[@mikemalonetv5385]

Great video sir

[@bobpoland6042]

Welcome back Bob :-)

[@danielcutright4075]

Long time no see thanks for coming back!

[@josephsaeteurn9158]

there are many ways to get from point A to Point B.. the only difference is time.. this took you 3 years while other strategy might take 2 years so there's no right or wrong way to invest.. "TIME" is what we can't get back..

[@andrefl4641]

And no physical labor, that’s the key 💪🏻

[@aspreedacore]

@11:40 i'm in webull in my 30's investing $35 a week into VTI, looking to buy extra shares when in bear market using my credit card points and or sick time pay at the end of the year. hopefully ill be in the second bracket lol

[@dylanmilford8802]

Can you talk about the end goal, as in what off when you’re done investing that the certain stock is negative or if there is a crash in the market

[@salto1994]

What a bomb intro

[@n14699]

HE LIVES!!!

[@TheGoldenCapstone]

Bob, can you talk about the taxes on selling after 30-40 years?

[@shaneomack5018]

We buy svol daily… 10 dollars a day since April of 2021….$12717 … compounding the distribution every month

[@TLOZSS1992]

I’m with ya bro been doing the same thing since January! Starting my journey 2025!

[@PinoyViralClipsTv]

Great video Bob! Keep it up!

[@danimal6206]

I'm confused. Can you invest in the S&P 500 as a whole. Or do you just invest 5 a day into the Vanguard? Sorry, I'm new to this, and you convinced me to start saving.

[@Kal3b]

If this is a long term play (i.e retirement) and you have no income restrictions, why not do this same strategy in a Robinhood Roth? Assuming you are not maxing out already

[@formerlyknownashammerofthegods]

I’m doing the $5 a day into QDTE. Did the math.

[@SozyV2]

Since he never responded, congratulations

[@kevinsaccomano7909]

QDTE is one of my favorites. AGNC is a solid one too so far

[@joels01]

Love this, starting today. Any way to get access to the spreadsheet you demoed?

[@tomhall1498]

Are you doing this inside a tax deferred account like an IRA? If not, it seems like you are going to have a mess if you ever sell, given that you will have to account for capital gains on each of these individual $5 purchases.

[@louidervictor9348]

Welcome back 🎉😅🎉

[@Milesofgaming]

video goes hard.

[@JadenYukiBruceLee]

But is it in the positive with inflation

[@reggiethecommenter9137]

2:26 You did’t lose $195. You made $1198 because you weren’t wasting your money at Starbucks.

[@G1CHO]

What about inflation?

[@bryannicol3097]

Epic intro

[@MrDiabetic]

Just curious, why ETH instead of Bitcoin?

[@harmor20]

How does this compare if you were to invest 5 dollars a day into a savings account with an APR of say 3.80 - 4%?

[@joshuadupre6161]

You would have about $1.5k to $2k less.

[@Moneyman_Rob]

This is cool 😎 (and lazy😅). It's a great benchmark. 👍

[@ThatKansasLady]

The market cycle actually has not met it balance, we continue onward round around and around while hanging tight for that tremendous victory on a colossal >support yet meanwhile we could constantly disregard the market promising and less promising times and remain completely contributed. Enormous thanks to Seren Wintersun for assisting me with acquiring over 15btc in about a month and a half by carrying out her technique and following her guide

[@ThatKansasLady]

Seren Wintersun program is widely available online..

[@Fdjp]

This is exactly what Big time investors are talking about, not just you. key thing here is to always trades with a good strategy even if the price goes up or down.

[@gabhrielixx]

Seren goes deeper than just looking at surface-level trends.. she explores technical, fundamental, and sentiment analysis, offering a comprehensive perspective on the market.

[@jimmieTrosclair]

The pump and dump has been a perfect eyeopener for us all to really see how unpredictable the market can be and the need for us to be trading not just seat and hodl.

[@collinbompart2790]

Webull should expand to Trinidad and Tobago.

[@bzplaysMinecraft]

Did the math before video starts n idk nothing bout investing

[@lafondawilliams]

Sharpe ratio 80% btc 20 altcoins

[@eymabcharles9575]

Congratulations

[@1Drip2Drool]

Looks like your not staking ETH. your returns should be higher if your were staking. Which is like Dividends and begs the question why you are not doing that?

[@aschulte91]

Voo instead of QQQ? That's leaving 10% on the table. RIP

[@jaytenanandbahadoer3195]

the netherlands!!!!

[@The_Dougie]

Welcome back Bob. Lol

[@Randompopulartopics]

people cant afford 150 a month XD

[@godsunit]

That's really sad lmao

[@avs-forum]

You keep ghosting us!

[@Lstacker]

Can’t be a waste of time since it invested vs drinking coffee ☕️ every day

[@azael3342]

Do both lol

[@Michaelwilliams-1]

Hi mate so excited today just reached my goal of 400k since June2024 to Jan 2025 l thank GOD for the life and wisdom shared.

[@versach49]

New Zealand

[@tavaresjwilliams]

Dont forget the capital gains tax when you go to withdraw it in 30 years 😂

[@chjk122_]

put it in a rothIRA then which is on robinhood also

[@Tylerbkelly14]

You didn't account for inflation. BANNED

[@BobSharpe]

@@Tylerbkelly14 🙄

[@BulletSerenade]

What a load

[@louidervictor9348]
