It’s JULY already! In the words of my 8-yo daugther: OMG! Time is flying by and I really try to not let it get to me, but summer is rapidly coming to an end before it even really began! We are busy in the new house, and haven’t even started packing down our old house…

Monthly Update #57 (May 2023) – The renovation begins & The FIRE project pauses

  • By That Guy

  •  ♦ 6

Hello everyone! It is now June already! – This means that I’ve yet again fallen behind (as usual) with the monthly update. Last month the sale of our current primary home went through – and so did the purchase of our new future home. Our new home is a renovation project, and thus we won’t…

Hello everyone! It’s that time of the month again 😉 As you can probably read from the headline it has been an exciting month in the Total Balance household. The excitement definitely doesn’t come from looking at our portfolio! It has yet AGAIN managed to produce a negative growth this month. – But lets not…

It’s Easter already! Once again I’m a little late with my monthly update, but better late than never, right?! I feel like that’s my life’s story lately; I’m always a little late to the party 😛 My stocks & ETFs portfolio currently constitute about 15% of our Total Balance, and yet this 15% is what’s…

Hello dear readers and good folk. Here we are – yet again – as it’s time for another riveting update from yours truly. As is the norm these days, this one is a bit delayed, as we’ve been on a getaway to “the promised land”. We didn’t quite get what we were promised though –…

Monthly Update #53 (January 2023) – The Gold Standard

  • By That Guy
  • Feb 11,2023
  •  ♦ 0

2023 is off to a flying start! By the end of 2022 everyone was screaming about a looming recession (even myself). So far it’s no-where to be seen, and the “experts” have now pushed it to arrive in the 2nd half of 2023 (instead of the 1st half). Nobody knows what’s going to happen, so…

Monthly Update #52 (December 2022) – Bbye 2022! I’m not going to miss you!

  • By That Guy
  • Jan 15,2023
  •  ♦ 5

I know what you’re thinking: Is “Bbye” even a word?! – Well, according to the urban dictionary it is! Bbye: A bitchy way of saying “goodbye have a nice day”, often used by “office suckers” and women with no self decency over the phone. (Sorry – but that’s what it says! You be the judge of which…

Oh, hello! Here we are again 🙂 Another month has gone by, and per usual these days I’m a little late with my update! Well, better late than never, right?! 😛 Another month went by without me managing to produce more content for the blog, besides the monthly update. It’s a little annoying, but I’m…

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