Thanks random strangers from the internet!

I got a really nice Christmas gift this year, My credit card statement! Turns out four random strangers from the internet have signed up for an AmEx credit card through me which has made our total amount of KLM flying blue miles surpass 100,000! Effectively you gave us free flights to our next holiday destination, thanks!


Finally some good news
With the markets rapidly moving into bear territory our net worth is not moving up as fast as we would have liked (understatement of the year). The timing of this post turned out to be brilliant. I correctly predicted the market peak. But I consider this pure luck and did not act on it. Timing the market does not beat time in the market anyway, remember Bob? So we stick to the plan. We buy and hold our low-cost ETFs and buy more every month. 

This would in fact be a good time to squeeze out every euro we can spare to invest into the market. So that's what we do. OK, maybe we spend some money on Christmas gifts as well but let's consider it a new years resolution.

Flying for free helps. See here for several good reasons to apply for a free gold card yourself (in short: it is making you money and let's you fly for free) and sign up here.

Have a good one!
Last but not least I hope y'all have a great festive season. Thanks for all the nice interactions and discussions, see you next year!
