Yearly Portfolio Report – 2022
January 18, 2023
With no quarterly report to speak of during all of 2022, it's a bit silly to split up the past year now, especially since it would be challenging to find the exact numbers of my crypto positions; instead, I'll be giving you a long-awaited update on my personal portfolio for the entirety of 2022!
Quarterly Portfolio Report – Q3 & Q4 2021
February 11, 2022
While I was still able to report the first half of 2021, ever since my daughter came into my life, I lacked the time to create a Q3 report. As such, this report will be for the last half of 2021, i.e., Q3 and Q4.
Ditching Active Funds Account For New Competitive Interactive Brokers Account
November 20, 2021
After 6 years and 1 month or 2243 days, I finally ended it. I ditched my actively managed portfolio at Beobank. While the performance was decent, it was nowhere near as good as my own portfolio nor even the performance of the popular All-world tracker VWCE.
Kinepolis Monumental In A Changing Industry: Why It’s (still) A Buy
September 25, 2021
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.

Saving Rate
My monthly Savings Rate report: July 2022
November 10, 2022
This month was a very tough one financially. I had to take out all the cash I had left to pay for the last bills of the apartment, which was not enough, but more about that later. Luckily, these are the last main expenses for the apartment. I even got the excellent news someone has already rent it out, starting in September, for €1250. Besides the finalization of my apartment, this month is notable for another reason. It’s my last month as an employee!
My monthly Savings Rate report: June 2022
October 2, 2022
With a lot of things going on at the same time these past few months, I haven't had the time to write anything. As a result, this Savings Rate report is more than three months behind. Eventhough it's been so long, I still want to catch up and have a complete year overview by the end of 2022. To that end, I'm sharing the month of June. I saw some significant evolutions in terms of expenses due to some major changes in my financial situation.
My monthly Savings Rate report: May 2022
July 27, 2022
Apologies I haven't been able to post much in recent weeks, but a lot has been going on. In the meantime, I found some time to provide you with my monthly Savings Rate. Since we were abroad from the 21st of April till the 5th of May this report will contain a higher expense in the holiday category as I put everything I spend during my trip there. On top of that, some of the shared expenses weren't paid back yet increasing this months expenses.
