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…
Monthly Update #30 (February 2021) – Dejavu
The calendar is reading March 2021 and February 2021 is thus a thing of the past, and as always here at the Total Balance household it’s thus time to take a look back at how the previous month played out. I must say I have somewhat a feeling of Dejavu; The update from February 2020…
Monthly Update #29 (January 2021) – Full Throttle
Hello fellow wealth seekers and good folk! We’re well into the new year, and it’s thus time to look back at how our financials have fared in January 2021. The winter has truly arrived in Denmark, so we spent some time outdoors in the snow with the kiddo! It was nice to be outside and…
New lessons learned (analyzing my returns from 2007-2020)
Early last year I wrote my “Lessons from the past“-post, in which I analyze my returns on my Pension from its infancy (2007) until the end of 2019. This post became the most read post of the year. So as promised, I will do a follow-up each year to analyze how my Pension portfolio have…
The goals for 2021
Another year, another milestone! We managed to hit last years target of €100.000, crossing into 2021 – with a little help from the Mrs. 😉 (Some call it “cheating” – I call it team work! 😛 ) Some of you might now be sitting with this question (or something similar) on your mind: Well, how…
Monthly Update #28 (December 2020) – Return of the Jedi
Happy new year! What a year. I think we’re all pretty happy to leave 2020 behind. 2021 is already looking significantly brighter, and we all have high hopes that this new year will be more normal than the one we just left! Pandemic aside, 2020 was not a bad year in terms of my investment…
