Mr. FightToFIRE

Infographic: 2018 in review

I've brewing on this ever since December 2018. It needed another 2 months before I actually started on it, to finally finish it this…

The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten

Just like most people trying to achieve FIRE, I encounter the occasional jab regarding my way of living or at least how “I’m being cheap”.
I just don’t like throwing my money through the window every day and if I can save money by being more mindful I will do, i.e., being frugal.

Should I buy or rent my first home?

To buy or to rent, that is the question

This was the first thing I asked myself. While most [Belgians] believe buying your own home is the best way to go (but not all, more on that later), I wanted to keep an open mind, so instead of just assuming buying was the best for me, I tried to find out how it really was for my situation.

Why I don’t fly on a budget

June is here and the summer holidays are right around the corner, well, for most of us. Perfect time for a (small) family vacation. What better way to get away from the daily grind than to book a cheap flight to that beautiful city you’ve been planning to visit or some other nice destination away from everything that grinds your gears.

May dividends galore

Overview of my dividend payout up until May 2019

May 2019 was the month of the Belgian and European elections, it was also the month in which lots of Belgian companies paid out their dividends. Yeah!
