My portfolio and life in January and February 2022: in limbo

These days I am not so focused on the portfolio, but more worrying about the geopolitical situation and people in the Ukraine. In less than a month I will be back in Singapore, seems surreal.
My current assignment in Europe is coming to a close. I am in negotiations with an interesting company here in Europe and at the same time also preparing for my move to Singapore.

Portfolio lost a lot of value, because of the Ukraine conflict. These are not times where I care about the portfolio so much. I feel really sad for our European neighbors in Ukraine.

The future seems really uncertain, which is why I did not create a yearly plan at all. I am waiting for my employment situation to be finalized. Right now I am planning to return home to Singapore in early April, to get my bonus and then maybe quit for the new opportunity in Europe, if it has materialized by then.

To keep the streak going, here the monthly reports:

Money invested (including reinvested dividends): SGD 4,699

I could not save as much money as usual, as I had to buffer cash for my move to Singapore.

Even though the company is helping, moving is proving stressful – selling the car, handing back the house, preparing what to keep, what to give away
