At the end of a very crazy 2020 I analyzed all my spending and investments for the year. Read on for the charts and details!
November 2020: first time my portfolio exceeded SGD 600k
just four months after I crossed the SGD 500k threshold, the frothing bull market pushed my portfolio to over SGD 600,000.
Investing for my early retirement: monthly update for October
Another month has passed, how much did I spend and how did the portfolio do?
September 2020: how did my retirement portfolio do?
September was a fun month spent visiting friends and secretely working from another country in ‘home office’…
My slow progress to retirement in August 2020
August meant another month in the homeoffice. As cases in Europe are increasing again, I guess that I will not see the inside of my office again in 2020. Some months ago I just packed up two suitcases and left the country I am supposed to be working in, in order to take care of some family issues in another country. Nobody has noticed or cared and I have just worked as per normal from home. How did my expenses and portfolio do in August?
July 2020: my retirement portfolio’s performance
The Covid-19 crisis shows no sign of stopping in my current home in Europe. Memories of the office are already fading – the other day I could not remember the name of one of my coworkers from the same floor. How did my investments do in July?
June 2020: the first time my portfolio exceeded SGD 500,000
In June my portfolio finally grew to over SGD 500,000 – six years after I decided to finally take care of my finances. How did the portfolio do?
My expenses and portfolio during Covid-19 in May
After having been in homeoffice without seeing my colleagues or friends for over 10 weeks now I have gotten used to the “new life” during the Covid-19 crisis. Here in Europe people behave as if the crisis is over, crowding the parks, having parties at home… I hope we get lucky and avoid a massive second wave. How did my finances do in May? Did I save more money now that I did not leave the apartment much?
April 2020: What did I learn from the Covid-19 situation and how did my investments do?
After eight weeks working from home I realized that the Covid-19 crisis is having an unexpected impact on my life.
March 2020: portfolio and decisions during the Covid-19 crisis
How to react to the Corona crisis? Last month it seemed far away and contained in China. Now here in Europe people are dying, there is not enough protective equipment, people are queuing in front of the supermarkets, nobody is allowed to leave the house for anything else than urgent errands. What to do?
