Milestone

Personal and financial milestone progress!

It’s been a while since I wrote a personal milestone progress post. Excluding the overview of 2019 and the plans for 2020, my last update of any milestone was May 2019. Ouch! Time to change that with some splendid news.

Portfolio update: stock purchases using tax deduction

Thanks to a tax deduction on my newly bought apartment on plan, I received about 17,000 EUR. This allows me to give a nice update on my portfolio and milestones progress.

Something interesting happened about a week ago. As you might have read –on my twitter feed or on the blog– I signed the deed of the mortgage and apartment.

Milestones for 2020

2020 is upon us! As I did last year, I will try to aim for certain milestones on both a personal and financial level. I already went over my 2019 milestones, which let us be honest, was so-so. But if I can learn from this and do a better estimation this year then it was worth it to make them.
