Projects to follow up in 2026:
Hive - 27.57 % completed (generated $66 this month)
DEFI - 0.25 % completed (generated $226 this month)
Shares Account no.1 AJ Bell 10K - 24.24 % completed
Shares Account no.2 Freetrade 10K- 30.41 % completed
Cash 30K - 71.71% completed
Secret stash - 9.83%

All the special projects are going well, 25% or more of it achieved, except one, with the next aim of 25% for the AJBell shares account to be completed. Crypto went a down again. I managed to add a hundred pounds here and there, working up my 2 positions on Freetrade app - BlackRock investment funds and UK Treasury bill shares. The idea is to build a position on £10.000 and let it grow, as a secondary emergency fund, in case of need.

​A £7068 increase, mostly because the private pension value went up by £4660, also the two small shares account went up a bit too. Other than that, cash and investments kept most of their value, and the profit from hustle was just around £300 this month. Despite crypto value going slightly down, the improvement on shares and savings made the total amount go up by £1099 for all my investments. My only issue for now is the low side hustles profits.

I wish you a profitable well-planned rest of the year!
