MY JOURNEY TO FINANCIAL FREEDOM AND EARLY RETIREMENT
Hello Frengers, I hope you have all had a great May and start on June! I have been super busy, and you have probably noticed that the activity on the blog has suffered slightly because of that. Not only has the blog suffered, but my monthly savings rate is a disaster for the second month […]
Last week, I was approached by Jade Preston who wanted to contribute with a post on the P2P lending scene in 2017. As I have been writing a bit about P2P lending already, I decided that I would go ahead and give this whole ‘contributed posting’ a shot 🙂 The article below has been contributed by […]
Bummer! April has been the worst month on my financial independence journey (yes, I changed the name from “financial freedom journey” to “financial independence journey” as it is more used in the PF community). It is fun how I in February wrote an article about why you don’t need things and now have spent more […]
Most of the readers of this blog probably do not have debt, but since you ended up reading this article, you probably have debt that you want to get rid of. If you are still unsure of whether debt is bad for you, check out my article on why debt is a personal emergency (!!). […]

I have made a list of the best personal finance blogs of 2017 – based on data. The methodology warriors amongst you will probably kill me before they have even see the list. […]
Disclosure:Â I am currently not affiliated with Mintos, but I do have an active account there and might become an affiliate in the future. Today, I’ll share some of my thoughts on the increasingly popular concept of peer-to-peer (P2P) lending. I have invested a share of my own assets in a promising European platform called Mintos. […]
Fellow MoneyMowers, Woohoooo! February has been an awesome month for my financial freedom journey. Two major things happened – I managed to save quite some money and my blog was featured on ThinkSaveRetire. What happened in February? On the morning of the 17 February, I woke up to see a significant increase in traffic to […]
Today, I’ll talk about good investments. In fact, I’ll tell you about the two best investments you’ll ever make. If you expect me to outline a new “get rich quick” financial investment, you will be disappointed. Actually, the investments I will talk about do not include stocks, bonds, funds or any other asset classes. I […]
