Step 16 - part 3

Objective: 1,600.00 - 3,200.00 HRK

Starting Balance: 1,910.50 HRK

I added to my doubling balance 50 kunas I manage to save, 7 kunas from my rounding up operations, 3.50 kunas from trading 6.50 HRK in coins for 10 HRK in paper money, and I received 2 kunas as a donation to my doubling project. After all those additions, my doubling stake is now equal to 1973.00 HRK.

I started to plan my first entrepreneurial venture to be conducted with my doubling capital. I plan to publish a book with collection of my haiku poems. Currently I'm in the process of selecting haiku poems for book, and in the process of finding out the cost of printing it. My initial plan is to publish 100 copies of book. I hope it will be profitable venture.

Step 16 - part 2

Objective: 1,600.00 - 3,200.00 HRK

Starting Balance: 1,880.00 HRK

Since last post I added to my doubling stake 9.00 HRK from my rounding up activity (I described it in my previous post). Also, I made 1.00 HRK by exchanging coins and paper money and I received 20.00 HRK donation from my wife. She was on a business trip to Iceland last week, and that 20.00 HRK is part of her traveling allowance she didn't spent. And finally, today I found 0.50 HRK in vending machine, in that small change return box. I always check those boxes, and really did found money in them for several times now. In total, that is 30.50 HRK of new money added to my doubling stake. Not bad. :)

Step 16

Objective: 1,600.00 - 3,200.00 HRK

Starting Balance: 1,692.00 HRK

I managed to increase my Doubling Stake to 1,880.00 HRK since last post. Majority of increase come from different savings that I decided to add to my doubling project. Also, I decided that if I buy something I will try to always round it up and add the difference to my doubling stake. For example, if I purchase something that cost me 12 HRK, I will round it to 15 and add 3 HRK to my doubling stake. I will try to do that as often as possible.

Current Balance: 1,880.00 HRK

Step 15 - part 5

Objective: 800.00 - 1,600.00 HRK

Starting Balance: 1,549.90 HRK

Since last Friday I found several coins. Biggest find was two coins of 2 HRK each. I also collect one more doubling tax of 26 HRK. Did few money exchanges, made some savings and I transfer them directly to my doubling stake, and earn 10% interest several times I borrow from my doubling stake. All that increased my doubling capital to 1692.00 HRK. With that I completed Step 15 of My Doubling Adventure and jump to Step 16. Surplus of 92 HRK that left from Step 15 will go directly to Step 16.


Step 15: Completed!

Current Balance:

Step 15 - part 4

Objective: 800.00 - 1,600.00 HRK

Starting Balance: 1,309.25 HRK

Since my last post, balance of My Doubling Adventure increased to 1,549.90 HRK. I found several coins, with 2 HRK coin being the biggest find. I found it in coffee machine at work. Majority of increase in my Doubling Stake come from different savings that I made in my everyday life that I decided to add to My Doubling Adventure capital. And also there was doubling tax of 1% on my regular monthly income that I added to my doubling funds. Currently I'm very close to finalization of Step 15. I have two ideas for money making projects that I will apply in following Steps. Also, there will be big IPO opportunity in Croatia in September that I plan to participate partly with my doubling funds. But more on that when it comes time.

Continuation of My Doubling Adventure

Objective: 800.00 - 1,600.00 HRK

Starting Balance: 982.20 HRK

I changed my mind again. Decided that I will continue back with my old Doubling project - My Doubling Adventure. I will pay back amount I have in the project and will add 10% interest on that. So that is 982.20 + 98.22 = 1,080.42 and I will round it to 1,080 HRK. Also, I will merge funds from Doubling Venture. Actually, I will donate them back to My Doubling Adventure. Right now I have 174.35 kunas there. That donation increased balance of My Doubling Adventure and now it is equal to 1,254.35 HRK.

Current Balance: 1,254.35 HRK
