Quarterly Portfolio Report – Q1 2021
April 24, 2021
Q1 2021 ends much like last year's Q1 ended in the middle of a pandemic. One full year of the corona pandemic; crazy to think a year ago, it all started.
Now with the first quarter of 2021 finished, it's time to take another look at my portfolio and see how it faired during these challenging times. Did my portfolio continue to rocket to the moon, or did it orbit a bit and crash back down?
Quarterly Portfolio Report – Q4 2020
January 15, 2021
The fourth quarter is already more than 2 weeks behind us but due to an increasing workload and my Spanish classes, I wasn't able to get to my quarterly report. Luckily I found some time so let us jump right into it!

November 14, 2020
Whenever you request guidance on how to invest to reach FIRE, you will often receive the comment you should invest in Emerging Markets e.g. through IWDA + EMIM. But should you?

Milestones for 2021
January 27, 2021
As I did last year, I will try to aim for certain milestones on both a personal and financial level. I already looked ahead on what I want to achieve in 2021, so now it's time to put those numbers into concrete SMART milestones.
Looking Ahead: 2021 Another Unusual Year To Worry About?
January 23, 2021
My third financial look ahead, this time for the year 2021. It has the same goal as the last one. I want to share my expectations for this year and use this as the Kickstarter to create my targets or milestones.
2020 Review: A Weird But Successful Year?
January 11, 2021
With 2020 over, a review of not only my portfolio but also the milestones I set myself is in order.
Throughout 2020, I updated my milestones, but now it's time to hold them against the light and see which milestones I reached in the end.
Personal and financial milestone progress!
September 3, 2020
I finally took a step forward in my personal milestone! It took way longer than expected but I will finally move forward this month.
After this I still have other milestones to achieve but whether or not I'm going to make it remains to be seen.

My monthly Savings Rate report: June 2021
July 17, 2021
Having a newborn in the house really makes it hard to find the time to write. Luckily I do still find it -albeit less for now- and I'm happy I can share another solid month of Savings with you.
My monthly Savings Rate report: May 2021
June 28, 2021
The May overview took way longer than expected thanks to the arrival of our little girl! When looking back at May, I originally thought this was going to be a difficult month in terms of Savings Rate due to the medical checks, but I forgot that the medical bills are a month behind so it's actually June that gets the expensive ones. Additionally, the actual delivery is covered by my health insurance. So, how did May go in the end?
My monthly Savings Rate report: April 2021
May 5, 2021
April was amazing! From both an income and expenses point of view, I was able to achieve my best result in months. The Belgian government played a huge part in this. Of course, cutting expenses helped a lot as well giving us this splendid SR. Or am I cheating a bit?
My monthly Savings Rate report: March 2021
April 10, 2021
March turned out to be a good month for my Savings Rate. While on the expenses side I spend a lot on the home and ownership part and again on food, I also received a nice extra on the income side thanks to evening deployments for work. I ended up doing a bit of nightly work between 1 am and 3 am.
