It all started in November 2020 when we had to decide where to stay after I learned that my apartment in Brussels would face a 10 to 12 month (!) delay due to corona -although I'm very doubtful it's just because of that- and that my wife would deliver the end of May 2021.
Upcoming holiday
Last Updated on January 1, 2021 by Mr. FightToFIRE
Heads up! I’ll be on a two week holiday to my girlfriend’s home country to meet the family and discover her country. Because of this, I probably won’t be posting a lot in the coming two weeks.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to finalize a couple of things I was working on so It’ll probably stay quiet till I’m back from my holiday. That said, I will have at least one post about the satellites in my core-satellite strategy.
Look forward to that!
I wish you all a great weekend and see you soon!

Quarterly Portfolio Report – Q1 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?
Financial planning for our baby
With a baby comes not only a new family member but also an extra mouth to feed for the next 20+ years as well as an extra person to dress. In other words, there are some extra costs involved. This is all part of the game, but what is sometimes forgotten is to generate some extra income for him or her.
I'm a developer for a major financial institution in Belgium that is present in over 40 countries. I have over 8 years of working experience in the development of customer applications focussing on all aspects of banking. This helped me gain a deep understanding of the inner workings of a commercial bank. All of this experience in both banking and life culminates in this blog about personal finance and my fight towards FIRE.
