Late update this one. Even though I'm only working part-time, it was a pretty busy April/start of May. Two major updates: We sold IP3 🎉 We have gone unconditional on another PPOR (the first house we got accepted on fell through due to a bad B&P report) I'll make...

My (f)unemployed dream came crashing down in March...  that's right, I messed around and got myself another... job 😲 But this time it's different. And I'm really excited to share some of the details with you guys (I might even make a pod about it). This shouldn't be...

God damn did I need a month like February! It's been pretty hectic since we got back into Victoria in late Jan. Just from a life admin and reunion point of view. So many people to see and catch up with, trying to figure out our living situation, Mrs. FB preparing to...

Before we get into the month of Jan, the annual anonymous FIRE Survey is back and open for submissions. There was so much to improve on from last years survey (yes I did manage to add Super this time around 😅), better-structured questions and logic design flow were...

And so we have reached the final NW update of 2020. WHAT. A. YEAR. I finished my contract in early December before Mrs. FB and I jetted off to Sweden for Christmas and some sightseeing. I'll be honest...  the last couple of months in London were a real struggle for...

October was mainly a forgetful month for many reasons this year 👎 with a few highlights sprinkled in. Firstly, as you may have remembered from last months update, we went for a little holiday to Greece/Italy for 2 weeks in September. Now, you'd think that when someone...

How tf is it the end of September already!? Man, I remember thinking about this once in a lifetime Euro trip (that we're currently on) for years and now we only have a few more months here before we head back home... and that's if we are even allowed back home 😅. The...

Things are finally starting to feel semi-normal again here in London 🙌. We're still wearing masks in indoor places but most of the things we care about (restaurants, gyms, markets etc.) have opened back up and really the only major hassle for us at the moment is the...

Forget the savings rates, forget which ETFs/LICs performed the best, forget the whole bloody net worth for a minute... Whilst all very important in their own right, they PALE in comparison to what else happened in July... 🥁🥁🥁 THE PUBS ARE OPEN! I cannot even begin to...
