Monthly Update #28 (December 2020) – Return of the Jedi

  • By That Guy
  • Jan 5,2021
  •  ♦ 10

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…

Hello fellow wealth seekers and good folk! It’s November already, and the US elections are stealing the headlines across the globe once again. To no-ones surprise it’s another nail-biter, and at the time of writing it’s still pretty unclear who is going to be in the oval office by January 20th 2021. The only thing…

Monthly Update #24 (August 2020) – The Beginning of The End

  • By That Guy

Hello! Again! Still reading, eh? 😉 Welcome to another monthly update (number 24! – Yes, this means the blog is turning 2 years this month!). It’s been a fairly slow month, so there’s not a whole lot to report. Business as usual, I guess. I’ve been withdrawing from crowdlending for a while, and it’s now…

Monthly Update #23 (July 2020) – The Retreat

  • By That Guy
  • Aug 6,2020
  •  ♦ 3

July 2020 is now in the past, and it’s thus time to take a look at the financials! We’ve been on summer holiday for 3/4 weeks of July, so I haven’t spent a whole lot of time “in the community” this month, which clearly reflect in my blog views, as they’re at an all-time low…

Monthly Update #21 (May 2020) – The Resurrection

  • By That Guy
  • Jun 3,2020
  •  ♦ 10

May is probably my favorite month of the year. Not just because it’s my birthday month, but because it marks the end of spring and the arrival of summer. We’ve already hit 20 degrees (celcius) here in Denmark and the weather has improved drastically from the (typically still) cold and wet month of April. BUT…

Monthly Update #20 (April 2020) – Another one bites the dust

  • By That Guy
  • May 4,2020
  •  ♦ 4

This is getting kinda old! It now seems like ages ago, when everything was peachy, and my passive income amounted to hundreds of euros each month. Remember back when you were allowed to visit a restaurant and maybe catch a movie or a show afterwards?! Those days are long gone – hopefully to return again…

Here we are again, dear readers! Another month has passed, and it’s thus time to look back and see how investments fared during one of the toughest months the world has faced in many years. COVID-19 is raging war against our planet and its inhabitants. We’re in the midst of a pandemic, and the world…

The FIRE

Hi, I’m Nick!

I’m working towards becoming financially independent – while still living as “normal” a life as possible.

You can follow my progress towards financial freedom and early retirement here.

My Total Balance Progress

My Total Balance goal is €400.000 (for now...).

€101.383 / €400.000 (25,35%) 25%
What's yours?
