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?

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.

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.

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: 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.
