Investing Diaries: She Didn’t Invest for...

Victoria Devine
About this episode

Our very first Investing Diary has landed, and she is the perfect reminder that investing is absolutely for women like us. Before she ever opened an app, she genuinely believed investing was a world reserved for men on Wall Street. Then lockdown hit, the algorithm gods did their thing, and suddenly she was seeing finance content from women who actually looked and sounded like her. One rabbit hole later… her entire money story flipped. What started as curiosity turned into a full investing era. She binged podcasts, graduated from micro investing, and built herself a portfolio with a set-and-forget energy. Then life did what life does. First home. Wedding. New job. So she stepped back from investing and honestly forgot about her portfolio altogether. Two years later she logs back in… and realises it has grown by $20,000 while she invested exactly nothing. Inside this ep, Victoria gets pervy about it all: the ETFs doing the heavy lifting, the direct shares she bought because she could see their value, and the “accidental strategy” that is actually outperforming her partners. This one is proof that you do not need to be a man in a suit on Wall Street to grow your money in the sharemarket. You just need to start.
