I don’t consider myself a gambler. I take calculated risks – there’s a difference. I’ve been playing with the idea of this post in my mind for a while, and decided it was time to get it out there. It’s likely that I’m going to regret it somewhere down the line, as someone is most…
Gambling vs. Calculated risk
My 3 Biggest Crowdlending Mistakes
I realize that the topic of my past mistakes has been a little over-represented on the blog lately, but this time I’m going to keep it a bit more relevant to the theme (of investing) 😉 I promise I’ll be done talking about my mistakes after this one (yeah, right). A couple of my friends…
The goals for 2019
When I started this blog back in September 2018, and wrote my first post I really didn’t have a clue what I was doing or where I was going (this is the honest truth!). I had read a lot of other FIRE blogs, and thought it would be a good idea, to create my own…
When the Universe throws a curveball
– 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…
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…
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…
A night out – with Imbro
As previously announced, I’m planning to invest a good sum of money in real estate, via a real estate development company, as that would allow me to purchase a stake (typically 10%) in a larger project. There’s a good handful of such real estate development companies in Denmark at the moment (there’s probably more –…
No guts, no glory!
Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time to put my money where my mouth (my fingers *?*) is! I’ve spend the last couple of weeks, pondering how to reach my ultimate Total Balance goal of DKK 3.000.000 in 15 years (give or take). I believe I’ve now decided on a strategy for the next couple of years,…
Timing is everything!
Have you ever tried delivering a joke, and nobody laughed? That’s timing (or maybe just a bad joke?). Ever tried kissing a girl/boy, and have the person turn away from you? Timing. Have you noticed that the gas prices go up and down, depending on the week day and the time of day? Timing. In…
