Update #010 - January 2022

Helloooooooo everyone out there in the vast Internet, welcome to Update #010, covering my finances for the month of January 2022. Can't believe I've been doing this for almost a year :O now, hello consistency, how are you, wink wink!!! 

January was a good month, I must say though that getting back to work after the holidays was hard to say the least. The first 2 weeks were mental, oncalls delayed projects, jeeezzz, luckily things have taken a slower pace by now.

Have you seen the stock market during January? oh my, it felt like a freaking roller-coaster. we dipped 10% on 27th, and now looks like we are slightly recovering. However things aren't looking too good, looks as if we were starting to break previous lows and trending down. I guess in a few weeks or month we will have a better picture!

What am I doing? trying to pick stocks as they start dropping in price, but holding off on any big purchases for a few weeks at least.

Update #008 - November 2021

I don't even know when November happened, if you ask me 2021 didn't have a November xD!!! Hello anyways I guess :), sorry I've had a few very very intense weeks and now I'm on my merry way to sunnier lands. Although I'm currently stuck in Frankfurt airport, my mind is already feeling the 30+ centigrade that wait for me in the southern hemisphere of this beautiful and fragile sphere we call earth.

I haven't slept much the last 48 hours, so forgive my crappier than usual language xD. Have you noticed how much more cumbersome has traveling become? Jesus... PCR tests, a ton of forms to fill, certificates of vaccination, I remember when worrying about my passport and visa was all of it. Good old times, right?

Well, enough ranting! Lets talk some finances now.... turns out November was for me as nuts as it was for the stock market. Yeah, my stock portfolio went full nose dive to begin with, mainly caused BABA stocks, on top of that the passive income overall wasn't outstanding. Lets have a closer look, will you?

Update #004 - July 2021

Say good bye to July!!! Yess, July 2021 is official behind us all, and I'm a year older than I was in "Update #003 - June 2021". Besides the regular aging that comes along with time, July has been a pretty fun month, very sportive I must say. Back to play some volley ball here and there and some very intense Bouldering sessions. For the ones unfamiliar with Bouldering is a sort of indoor climbing, pretty fun and great full body workout.

Financially wise, July wasn't a record month in terms of passive income, but was pretty close. It did reach the highest expenses coverage percent ever with a nice 2.7%, beating March 2021 by 0.01%!!! How come you have lower income and higher expense coverage? You must be thinking! Panic not, I have the answer for you :), essentially my expenses have dropped a bit since I moved in with my girlfriend and this is a side effect of that. Anyways, enough talking, show me the numberssss
