- [The Cost of Raising a child in Belgium: Numbers That Will Surprise You](https://www.fighttofire.com/the-cost-of-raising-a-child-in-belgium-real-numbers-that-will-surprise-you/): In Belgium, the saying goes that a child costs you a house\. AG Insurance and the Gezinsbond put a number on it: €264,310 over 25 years, or €917 per month when childcare and study costs are included\. The Belgian median house price in Q3 2024 was €275,000\. Headlines wrote themselves\. VRT's Money Time podcast ran with it, and the Gezinsbond has been publishing versions of this research for years\.

Alles? Nou, eigenlijk niet alles\. Een aantal producten zijn gelijk gebleven \(ook in hoeveelheid\!\) en er is zelfs een enkeling dat goedkoper is geworden\.
- [Kinepolis Monumental In A Changing Industry: Why It's \(still\) A Buy](https://www.fighttofire.com/kinepolis-monumental-in-a-changing-industry-why-its-a-buy/): One of my earliest individual stock purchases, when I started my fight towards FIRE, was Kinepolis \(EBR: KIN\)\. It's one of many satellites in the core\-satellite strategy I have built over the years\.
After all the hype AMC received this year \-which prevents Kinepolis from taking them over\- I thought this write\-up could help clarify why I held on to them for so long and will remain to do so\.
- [19 Best European Dividend Aristocrat stocks to look for in 2022](https://www.fighttofire.com/19-best-european-dividend-aristocrat-stocks-2021/): One year ago I wrote this article to share some of the best dividend paying stocks in Europe\. One major event caused a major shift in this list\. I'm of course talking about the corona pandemic\. Some of the original stocks unfortunately don't make the list anymore\. It's so bad even that of the 24 original dividend aristocrats, only 19 remain\!
