Okay. I was going to say Happy Easter to all my readers and friends but realised that this will sound really weird. Yet it is true. Today is the Christian Orthodox Easter. Thinking about it, celebrating Labour Day on a personal finance blog may appear somewhat weird as well. You…

Do you worry about money? Okay, let me try this one again. Do you worry about paying off the mortgage? About how much you spent on this pair of shoes you haven’t even worn yet? How to keep your bank account in the black till the next pay-day? About getting/keeping…

I’m writing this sitting in a bed in which I’ve slept only once (last night), in an apartment I saw only last night. John is downstairs buying breakfast and everything is less than familiar. We are in Sofia and friends have put us up. Why, you may ask, if they…

I’ve been feeling good! (As you can see from the picture.) Nothing has changed much. My Nutmeg account is still at a small loss (though recovering). I still love Nutmeg and will tell you why in a different post. Work is a complete chaos and very stressful at that. Not…

You know how I tend to go on about learning? And how this is the most important skill we ought to master for a successful and joyful life? This is why I decided to put regularly (at the end of each day) some effort in reflecting on what I’ve learned….

My heart has gone out of it and it’s not coming back. You know what I mean? My heart, I thought, went out of almost everything to do with my job, my blogging and my writing. Don’t tell me you’ve not noticed because I know you did. I still wrote,…
