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.
Quarterly Portfolio Report – Q2 2021
September 9, 2021
Even though we are almost at the end of Q3, I still want to take the time to cover Q2 of 2021 if only to keep continuity. With the pandemic in the West almost behind us, Q2 turned out to be pretty good investment-wise. I made nice gains even though I didn't make any deposits to my investment accounts.

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!

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.

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.
