Know thyself

Temple of Apollo, Delphi

Hi! Thanks very much for checking in.

This is a blog about my personal journey toward financial independence, with explorations in investment strategy, finance and portfolio design issues.

I am a 40 something guy living in Australia interested in sharing what I learn along the way, and connecting with people who are either on or considering the same journey.

You can expect to see regular monthly updates on my progress towards achieve my financial independence objectives, including portfolio income and investment updates.

Each monthly update also usually includes reflections on what I have learnt, and discussion of academic evidence about investment issues and different ways to invest.

My primary financial independence objective is to maintain a portfolio of at least $2,870,000 which is capable of providing a passive income of around $99,000 (in 2024 dollars). A secondary objective is to reach an equity portfolio of $2,300,000.
