– Do you try to hit it out of the park, or do you move the fuck out of the way, to avoid getting it in your face? I apologize for the baseball analogy (and the foul language), but it seemed appropriate, giving the topic I’m going to ramble about today! You see, I believe…
When the Universe throws a curveball
Reset to childhood (Thought experiment)
The year is 2030, you’ve just spent your life savings on purchasing a ticket to ‘reset’ your life. You’ve gone back in time to your first-day of school. You have a chance to live your life again. You have all of your current memories. What would you do differently? TheSavingNinja propose a thought experiment each…
Is your house a liability?
I recently read Rich Dad, Poor Dad by the famed author, Robert Kiyosaki. The book is one of the best selling personal finance books of all time, and Robert Kiyosaki has built an empire out of his Rich Dad, Poor Dad concept. If you haven’t read it, I suggest you go pick up a copy…
Less is not always more
When I tell people that I’m currently planning to invest in a real estate project (rental property), their immediate reaction is: But real estate has become so expensive (again), are you sure this is the right time to go into real estate?! This is the typical reaction, because people look at graphs of the real…
HOWTO: Transfer money fast and free of charge
I made my first (ever I think?) international money transfer via my bank in October 2018. I had selected a few crowlending platforms that I wanted to take for a spin. It was scary as hell! I transferred €1.000 to Bulkestate, Grupeer and Viventor via a SEPA transfer in my bank. The fee to do…
To FI, or not to FI…
Inspired by one of my “role models” in the FI community, I felt like writing my thoughts on this topic today (the topic has been in my notebook for a while). I’ve noticed a change in my own behavior, since I started this FIRE journey that I would like to put out there to emphasize, that…
Monthly Update #3 (December 2018) – The battle of the patience
It’s December 2018, and that means it’s time for another monthly update! The month of November 2018 was pretty good to me, in terms of returns from my investments (yea that’s right – I don’t have stocks, remember?). – However, I’m now starting to battle my patience a little, in regards to finding my first…
Beware of the currency…
In the wake of Black Friday (yes, it’s in Denmark too – unfortunately) I thought I would “lighten the mood” a little, with some “FUN FACTS” (they’re actually more opinions than facts – but since more than 50% of the worlds population still believe in some form of religion, I guess the facts vs. fiction…
A night out – with Koncenton
As promised, I spent another evening out, learning about real estate investment opportunities – this time, with the company Koncenton. This event was a little special though, in that I got to bring the wife… I had arranged for a baby-sitter (the grannies)! Needless to say, TEoW was not really that thrilled, about spending a…
The best savings advice I (n)ever got…
There comes a time in every FIRE starters blogging career (career – really?) where you have to make a post about, how you – in your infinite wisdom – manage to save up all that money, which you then use to invest, and ultimately retire early, living off of your investments! Since I’m a FIRE-light’er…
