With half of the year gone, I figured it’s a good time to have a look at the goals I set to myself back in January. I had 10 goals in total, divided to three different categories. Let’s go through each of them and see where I am standing in the mid-year point. Financial GoalsRead More
After a miserable May, June was a terrific month for markets. The same goes for my portfolio. It had probably the best month and gained ~€1100 (or ~8%) in a single month. Of course, the value of portfolio is not that important. The focus is constant stream of dividends. On the contrary, such market upswingsRead More
Summer is in full swing and June was another great month. Our baby-girl is growing well. It seems that she is changing and learning new things everyday. She even has 4 teeth already! We also had a short 4-day getaway to the seaside this month. It was great to spend some time with old friendsRead More
May was pretty bad for markets. The prices kept decreasing and my portfolio value shrank by ~€800 (~5%) in a single month. However, it presented some opportunities, as I am still in the early accumulation phase of the portfolio. I took the opportunity and initiated a new position.

It’s time for another edition of monthly passive income review. May is usually my best month in terms of dividends due to some annual payers in my portfolio.

While we were busy living life, our portfolio kept working silently in the background and delivered some passive income. Let’sRead More
I recently published a watchlist of a few companies that got my attention. It didn’t take long for me to initiate a position in one of them. I decided to go with an insurance company from Austria. It means that I now own a piece of a company from a new country and a newRead More
Once again, I accumulated some funds and am thinking how to best deploy it. It became a good practice to create a watchlist and post it in my blog, as I tend to give more consideration to the companies I am watching, as a result. I also can hear your opinions and some insights aboutRead More
I have to admit that I didn’t spend too much time blogging recently. Raising a baby and training for triathlon definitely takes its toll on time spent on reading other blogs and writing posts of my own. However, I don’t want to make excuses, as I could definitely find some time if I omitted unproductiveRead More
With the markets going up and up, it is pretty hard to find companies that would look undervalued at the moment. Nevertheless, I am always on the lookout and am trying to continue our journey to financial independence. The only way I see for it to move forward is to save part of our incomeRead More
