It is November already, and it’s thus time to look back at the financials of October 2021. I was happy to see my investments were (overall) back in green this month. Consecutive red months are always bad for moral, but we know from history that Q4 are typically “rebound time” for the global markets. Indeed…
Monthly Update #38 (October 2021) – The temporary cash flow drought
Monthly Update #37 (September 2021) – Dawn of the dead
Hello dear readers, goodfolk, friends and future self! September 2021 is now a thing of the past, and thank God for that! What a terrible month it has been! Red numbers across the board. Luckily October is already proving to be a bit more merciful. I have been busy at work, at home (and other…
Monthly Update #36 (August 2021) – Another Great Loss
Here we go again! Another month is history, and as the norm dictates it’s thus time to have a look at our finances in the Total Balance household. August 2021 was a(nother) red month in terms of stocks/ETF growth, but worst of all I had to bury another grandparent. My grandmother died at the age…
Monthly Update #35 (July 2021) – The Summer Slumper
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 #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!…
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…
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…
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…
