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…

Hola people of the great and vast pool of information that is the Internet! (too much?) It’s 2022! Happy New Year everyone! It always takes a while to get used to writing a new year, but I’m already getting the hang of it I think 😛 Even though January is one of my least favorite…

Hello dear readers, good folk, friends and future self! Christmas is almost upon us, and soon it’ll be time to say goodbye to yet another year. And what a year it has been! Before we do that though, we’re gonna take a look at the November 2021 financials, here at the Total Balance household. I’ve…

Monthly Update #38 (October 2021) – The temporary cash flow drought

  • By That Guy
  • Nov 2,2021
  •  ♦ 6

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 #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

  • By That Guy

  •  ♦ 3

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…

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

  • By That Guy
  • Jul 11,2021
  •  ♦ 0

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!…

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).

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.
