Last year, I reviewed our situation regarding our objective of being financially independent by 40. With our stock market investments alone, we are short about CHF 75'000 in earnings per year. So it was time to find a solution!

Based on encouragement from readers, I've decided to undertake writing a book on how to achieve financial independence by 40 in Switzerland.

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.

Since it has been two years that I published my analysis of online brokers for Swiss Mustachians, I thought it was time to provide you with an update so that newcomers to the blog have the latest infos on this matter.

Degiro is a player that seems to be here to stay amongst the discount brokers. As I keep a close eye on them, I asked my mate The Poor Swiss to share his Degiro experience with us today.

Last week, I presented you experimentation's project with crypto-currencies. Being a rookie myself, I then had to face the first questions that any investor has to ask himself, namely: which portfolio to choose, which online brokerage platform to select, and how to buy/store concretely my first bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies?

So far, as a long-term investor, I forced myself to not hop on the volatile and risky train of cryptocurrencies. Then I decided to see this as a learning opportunity. I will therefore invest a maximum amount clearly defined from the start, and make a regular report of the evolution of my new portfolio of digital currencies.

After several requests from readers wanting what I thought about Degiro, here is my opinion on this newcomer to the world of low cost online brokers.
