First of all, I want to quickly say hi before I set off on my journey towards financial freedom! In short, while I have always had an interest in money, saving and investing, I haven’t had a proper chance to consistently work towards my future in that sense. While it has been nagging at the back of my head, I am not nearly smart or disciplined enough to choose buying a stock over Friday night drinks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have lived in a number of different countries for education purposes and while I did work for a few years some time back, I was doing that while also studying. I am now nearing 30 and am finally finished with my education, I have no plans to marry or acquire mini versions of me in the near future, and am now concentrating on earning a living full time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While originally from a small nation in norther Europe, I am currently residing in South Korea. I did a master’s degree here and have now been working for a few months for a company mainly known in US, to locals it’s nothing, so no prestige there, but hey, you gotta start somewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let us get straight to the point though. I am planning on using this platform to air my dirty ‘money’ laundry and track my journey to financial freedom. Ideally I would like to retire in max 10 years. Might be impossible, but staying accountable is a great start in my book. I have small amount of assets in 3 different currencies (think just few hundred bucks for USD for example) but for clarity let me decide on EUR as the currency for this blog. I will convert everything in USD and KRW and list important values in EUR at the current conversion rate. I have done a little bit of investing, very inconsistently so I am not starting at flat out 0 but I have a long way to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before I get into the dirty details, let me just list out some goals I have for 2022. Here goes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
| <\/td> | Q1<\/strong><\/td>| Q2<\/strong><\/td> | Q3<\/strong><\/td> | Q4<\/strong><\/td><\/tr> | Net worth goal<\/td> | 22.000\u20ac<\/td> | 29.000\u20ac<\/td> | 36.000\u20ac<\/td> | 43.000\u20ac<\/td><\/tr> | Quarterly passive | income goal<\/td> 100\u20ac<\/td> | 150\u20ac<\/td> | 225\u20ac<\/td> | 325\u20ac<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> | Given that end of Q1 is only a few days away, I admit I might have been a little biased setting the goals. As see though, my goal is to continuously increase the passive income coming in every quarter, hopefully I can make a total of 800\u20ac passively in 2022. That would be an awesome first year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As for the current set of assets and distributions, I will get into it in the monthly and quarterly update next week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There! First step taken, step in the right direction I sure hope. To celebrate, will grab one drink less on the coming Friday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" First of all, I want to quickly say hi before I set off on my journey towards financial freedom!
