If I don't manage my money monthly, I'll just be surprised at the end of the year at how much I spent. And unless I track how much I'm making, I won't be able to re-allocate my assets.
For example, it looks like my stock portfolio gained 44,800€ between February and March. That's insane. But then again, I've taken on a ton of risk with growth stocks and it paid off.
Have a closer look and see how it's progressing.
Bondora is quite unpopular. People don't really understand the platform. People want quick wins, buyback guarantees and the like. That's not Bondora.
Instead, Bondora is a long ride. It's illiquid and difficult to forecast. Show me another blogger that has four years worth of data from Bondora and has actually properly analyzed what is happening. There are none.
I don't blame them really. How can you recommend a platform you don't understand.
Over the years, I've got a lot of questions about how I track my P2P portfolio. I've set my tracking up with tools that are difficult to share, but I wanted to finally help all of you do it more easily.

The main reason I do it is that it is one of the very few ways I can compensate for my CO2 emissions in a potentially profitable way. There's currently a project on The Sun Exchange that has a forecasted IRR of 16.71%. Continue reading to find out more.
Uh-oh.
Work from home, save on lunch, no expensive trips abroad, less eating in a restaurant and so on, right? I should have easily saved a ton in expenses in 2020. How did it go then?
Total expenses increased by over 3,000€. For. Fucks. Sake.
How did that happen? Read on to find out.
I'm still alive, thank you all who've been asking. I just have been focusing on other things than this blog lately. Work has been busy and other side projects as well. And frankly, I got a little fed up writing about the same stuff. But now I've got a few new ideas. One of them requires more people to use my FIRE caluclator.
