- Approximately one month back, we reviewed my earnings for 2023, and several of you noticed that it didn't provide a complete overview since I hadn't shared details about my expenses. The wait is over! I've decided to make an entire video dedicated to my expenses, along with an in-depth examination of my investment strategies.

This is so interesting. Thank you for sharing this private stuff. All the best for you in 2024 Martin!
You're doing a great job for the community. Was extremely hyped to see you back on the Apeks lineup as well, keep on doing you brotherman! ♥
Nobody makes videos like this guy, keep being awsome dude
Really must appreciate your transparency and honesty. I was looking for this video and you definitely delivered very broad and accurate representation of your expenses. I'm also glad to see you doing well financially. All the best regards for the future!
Incredible content man, been following you for some time now and always enjoy watching. Keep it up!
Awesome! Thank you! :)
Clearing $500,000 in 2023? No wonder that 0-13 on Ancient was disappointing but ultimately no big deal. Everyone’s having a good time and making well above what their peers are making in a day job. A good life.
Sharing all these details is actually really interesting & good to see, great video
Great video mr.tin thank you for the insight and transparency.
first to do this content? its really entertaining & feed a good knowledge
Thank you for your insights. Your channel is a good addition to the normal Cs2 content, and also respect for your personal development inside the game. You are shooting very sharp in the last games. Keep it up
This type of content lets me confidently speak to my wife about counter-strike being a wholesome industry. Thanks :)
Love these kind of videos, keep up the good work
Subscribed to support :) Ty for transparency. GL
Great video and shows it’s not just about playing a game if you want to ensure a future for yourself, just like any other sport.
Amazing content as always! Keep up with it! Best of luck with competition. Cheers from Brazil 🇧🇷
Love the Vids, Keep it up!
Damn i didn’t know you were chill like that. Keep up the good work my G!😊

Solid video as always!
It is so cool to see this type of video! Thank you for the transparency :D
Thank you, buddy :D Glad you enjoy my content!
super video Martine, je skvely videt nekoho uprimnyho :)
Wow very interesting thank you for sharing Martin. Big ❤
appreciate your honesty man❤
Thank you for sharing! Back in the days when I was playing CS 1.6 some what professionally, these amount could only be dreamt of. All the best for you! 🙂
Had to check twice just to make sure it's not the wrong TSM xD
haha, good catch.
I invested in TSM earlier in 2023 mainly due to a couple of interviews and research by Warren Buffett.
It is Taiwan Semiconductor, not Team Solo Mid :D
xd
strange its called TSM when its actually TSMC
Like your transparency, gl for RMR next week or so
Another MASSIVE W from my boi in Europe. 😎
Hey styko,loved this video, a banger, i wonder have you made any video about how usual day in the life looks like and how you manage your time/set yourself up for productivity as a sports player? Much appreciate the content ❤
Amazing video THX
Respect for such transparency, and it's also really interesting to listen. I'm wondering how you find time for all that business stuff, talking with accountant and etc, because in my mind pro CS players are basically spending regular 8 hrs on work (playing, analyst and coach meetings, etc), and after that most of players are just playing more/streaming.
Super interesting. Thanks for sharing STYKO.
good video 🔥
banger once again
I'd only suggest you showing more broll of the stuff you're talking about, for example when you talked about the apartment - you can show some pictures or footage of it. Or the office + utilities, just a scan through your place.
i think ur the only cs player talks openly about everything.
I was always wondering wich InEar headphones you are using on LAN tournament ?
I love to see the transparent from you. Would you open a brand yourself about fashion/food or gaming gears? Also wanna know how you investing. Ty
another banger
We are toghether in the BABA struggle, stay strong
The taxes in slovakia are so low! In the netherlands its so much more. Also the appartements price WITH renovations.. damn thats nice!
Martin very good stocks you have bought, espesually Meta and Taiwan Semiconductor
What stood out was $6k for the accountant. If they do a whole lot more than just take care of book keeping and taxes than yeah fine, however if not - please shop around! Also I'm both elated and depressed by your taxes - elated that its less than most places, depressed that such high taxes feel good!
Huge respect for such a transparency! I just wonder why don't you make a residency in a country where you would pay no tax
cool content
I'm watching you so I'm the real G😎
I am interested in Donk's POV review vs Faze, it looked simple even it's not, what do u think?
That video is going to be up on my channel in couple of hours! Whole BO5 review of the finals at IEM Katowice 😊
nice
👍
if everyone was more like styko the world would be a better place
I saw your match agenst metizport what do you think of them
Honest question - is it worth buying an apartment just to rent it out? I mean, in how much time will you recoup the 155k investment? I assume rent prices in Slovakia aren't crazy high
Good question.
Rent varies and over the past few years it has been skyrocketing in Slovakia. We see huge increase since Covid. I don't expect it to grow at this rate, but this property was valued at around 900 EUR / month.
To answer your question, it would take ~15 years, but there is always the possibility of just selling the apartment sometime in the future for profit. That would mean those monthly rents were an extra profit on top of the sound investment.
@@STYKO I see. Sounds like you really set yourself up for a comfortable life, glad to see it! gl on your next matches
the price of the apartment going up will probably do that by itself
this year there will be 3 times more income, I believe in Apeks, go ahead Apeks!
I see styko didn't use the politician method of paying his girlfriend 80k euro or something for doing a job for him
Investments aren't really a spending IMO
Technically, you are right, but I wanted to include them anyway for full transparency. I think it is an interesting topic I didn't want to neglect.
STYKO D GOAT 🔥
:) COOL
missed the skins section 😂
I spent $0 on skins in 2023 :)
@@STYKO good job! Some of these pro players wasting money or getting scammed on skins lmao
@@STYKO idk how you do it, skins for me is second to competitive, but i still absolutely love picking up a nice new play skin or even a 5th sticker now
Me: skins
TLDR: my man is eating goooood
15k€ euro for 3 months coaching LOL
As I said in the video, one of the best investments this year, hands down :)
software....oh I know what kind of software you spend a lot of money on ahahhaha
Mate im glad i found your channel . i saw one of your videos looking at the demo of zywwo in inferno and then i saw this vid.
your videos are chill and not dramatic as most people are making those tips of videos nowadays. good luck in your games and keep it up with this great content
