In this article, I continue the introspection of my childhood from the age of 8 to 13. The goal: to analyze how it has impacted who I am decades later.

After our first years of living together, I started earning my first salaries. We therefore reviewed our way of managing our expenses to move to a pro rata of our earnings. And we also opened our first joint account.

The end of November is synonymous with health insurance switch in Switzerland. This year, I accompanied David to figure out whether he could save some cash by choosing frugal premiums for 2019.

It's been a long time since we talked about money on the blog. I thought it'd be interesting to show you where we are at in terms of net worth since we embarked on the path to financial independence, so that you can see what can be done in five years.

There is an old saying that states that it's important to know where you come from in order to know where you go. So I thought it was important to do an introspection session about my education in order to pass on the best to my children.

After more than two years in our new home, we can finally compute what our real rent is as a homeowner in Switzerland. So, is that more advantageous than being a tenant or not?

I went back to the time when we met with Mrs MP, to see how far we've come. First appointments and first gifts, but completely separate financial life. Then settling together, with the first discussions, discords, and compromises concerning money.

As our investment strategy has been in auto-pilot mode for almost two years, I didn't think to update you about my ETF portfolio changes. Thanks to our reader Max for reminding me, it's now fixed!

It's pretty easy to have a budget and to pursue your own dreams like financial independence when you're alone. But when you get (or are) into a relationship, it gets a little more complicated. We've come a long way with Mrs. MP on this topic. Let me tell you how I got her on a common budget and on the dream of financial independence.

For a newspaper interview, I was asked how many Swiss people have the same goal of financial independence as I do. I found myself a little bit stupid as I didn't have any answers... so I thought it would be best to ask you directly.
