After reading a ton of blog posts about how you can’t time the market, and just as many stating how you can/should time the market (you mean like this one?), I decided it was time to dig a little deeper into this subject. This let me to think about opportunity cost (remember I’m currently holding on…
Opportunity cost
F*CK Capitalism
I came across this sign in a town close to where I live. It’s supposed to be a nice neighborhood too! 😉 The sign indicate that a new apartment complex is going to be build in the near future – it even says “climate friendly”. Apparently, someone did not approve of this message. This someone took…
Lost & Found
So, last week I made a bold statement, and accused my wife of stealing my stones (No, not those! – But I like the way you think! 😛 )… It turned out that I still had them! They were tucked away in one of those moving boxes that you never get around to unpack (we…
The side hustle
If you’ve red The Story you know that I’m a saver. I like to save – but not just money – anything that can be accumulated. I’ve always been a bit of a collector, really. I’ve collected bottle caps, DVDs (before that, it was VHS tapes), stones (no you idiot, not the ones you find on…
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…
Haunted by the past
Since I started my FIRE journey, I’ve become more and more aware of my past mistakes. I tell myself it’s a good thing, as this should help me avoid making more of them in the future. Every quarter, I’m painfully reminded of my past mistakes in an annoying physical form; Wrapped in cellophane in my…
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…
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…
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…
