Here we go again, folks! Another month is in the history books, and it’s thus time to look back at how our Total Balance has fared. We had 3 weeks off in July, and we spent the majority of it in Denmark, and luckily we were fairly lucky with the weather (you never know about…
Monthly Update #35 (July 2021) – The Summer Slumper
Monthly Update #34 (June 2021) – The one without a proper title
June 2021 is a thing of the past, and as projected last month – it was indeed an expensive month! June is a major birthday month in my family (wife, mother and sister in law) and on top of that, I decided to purchase some new wheels for my wife’s car (2nd hand, of course!…
How to build a winning stock strategy(?)
A while ago I wrote a post about how your personality dictates your return and since I’ve recently embraced the roller coaster (the stock market), I decided to revisit it and write down some of my thoughts, on how to pick a stock strategy that matches your personality. Lets dig in!
Monthly Update #33 (May 2021) – Business as usual
Hello good people of the FIRE community! Another month has passed, and it’s thus time for another riveting update from yours truly. May was a relatively quiet month in the Total Balance household – hence the title of this update (business as usual).
Monthly Update #32 (April 2021) – Another round (of leverage)
Here we go again. Another monthly update (have you grown tired of them yet?) from yours truly. The month of April has been pretty eventful. Denmark is slowly beginning to open up from the winter lockdowns (please don’t let this become a returning thing!), and we’ve spent some time in our garden planting trees and…
Show me your bookshelf and I shall tell you who you are
Which reality show was your favorite this year? – Said nobody. Ever. Why is that? Because few choose to admit that they actually watch reality TV. And yet reality is one of the fastest growing TV categories of the Millennium. Shows like Keeping Up With the Kardashians, The Bachelor, Survivor and The Apprentice (I used…
Patience is a virtue
I feel like I’ve reached a point in my “blogging career” where it has become socially acceptable to quote myself (no?…). In my December 2018 update titled “The battle of the patience” I wrote the following: Patience is not my strong suit! My impatience often lead to doubt! And when you combine doubt+impatience, you get…
Monthly Update #31 (March 2021) – Double up!
Is it April already?! It would appear so! SPRING is finally here! And with spring comes yet another update from yours truly. Since February was a pretty dark month (pun intended) in terms of our investments, I’ve not been paying that much attention to the market in March – but as most of the vegetation…
Update on Property #1 (2021)
It’s been two years since I purchased my biggest investment to date. We’ve just completed our 2nd annual assembly, and it was rather uneventful. As I mentioned in my previous Monthly Update we’ve received word that we will be getting a new tenant (on April 1st), so naturally I assumed that we would have a chat…
[DK] Den passive ejendomsinvestor – sådan gør du
Hej med jer! Efter mere end 2 år med udelukkende engelske blog artikler, føles det lidt mærkeligt, nu at kaste sig ud i et på Dansk 🙂 Men eftersom mere end 40% af trafikken på denne blog kommer fra Danmark, så synes jeg alligevel, at jeg ville give det et forsøg! Så må det briste…
