Update #50! Oh my, where did time go? We’re finally back in green territory this month – but just barely, though. Let’s take a gander at them numbers from October 2022, shall we? 😉

Here we are again, and this is getting a little old by now, isn’t it!? Let’s just get it over with, shall we?

Another month, another update! 🙂 I’ve been pushing this update in front of me in hopes that there would eventually be some good news to share! Alas, there is not. Here we go…

Here we go again! A bit delayed this month due to summer holidays and what-not. But better late than never, right? 😉

Monthly Update #46 (June 2022) – Cash is King

  • By That Guy

Another month – another update from yours truly! It’s summer holidays, and thus I’ve spent quite some time in the proverbial hammock, as is the norm 😉 I’ve thus not had a lot of time (read: I’ve honestly just tried to forget the past couple of months – from a financial perspective at least) to…

Monthly Update #45 (May 2022) – The Curse of The Black Pearl

  • By That Guy

Here we are again! It seems the months fly by faster and faster during the summer season. In the winter-time it feels like the months go on forever! It’s summer already, and I’m already starting to dread (a little) the 21st of June. Why? Well, for two reasons: It’s my wife’s birthday, and I never…

Folks, I know I’m a little late to the party this month – but it’s time for another update. Summer is almost here! It’s crazy how fast time flies when you’re having fun (also when you’re not it seems…). April is a thing of the past, and unlike the trees my portfolio has NOT been…

  •  ♦ 7

Another month has gone by and we’re now 1/4 into the new year. My oh my how time flies! As is the norm, it’s thus time to take a look at our finances for the past month. The end of March 2022 was an important milestone for the Total Balance household, as we’ve been preparing…

Monthly Update #42 (February 2022) – The Invasion

  • By That Guy
  • Mar 15,2022
  •  ♦ 0

Just when we thought there was light at the end of the tunnel a certain Mr. Putin sticks a giant branch in our wheel. One crisis replaces another. War is at our doorstep. Given what the Ukrainians are currently facing, it seems somewhat insensitive and inappropriate to be discussing our investment returns. The only comfort…

Monthly Update #41 (January 2022) – A Red Sun Rises

A red sun rises; blood has been spilled this night. Indeed! Welcome to another BLOOD RED Monthly update from yours truly. Not the greatest start to a new year, but I suppose we were overdue for a correction after the crazy bull run we’ve seen since the great dip of 2020 (because of you-know-what). Luckily you-know-what…

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.
