Financial Idiot 024 - A Pause

As you surely have noticed, you are missing an Issue of „Financial Idiot“ from two weeks ago. Although I was highly motivated on the last three Issues (21 to 23), some things have changed in recent weeks, and I wasn’t in the mood for writing more „Financial Idiot“ Newsletters. Maybe I overdid the last few or underestimated the efforts. Nevertheless, I took an unexpected break on the previous Issue and will take a more extended break now, which I’m announcing with this Issue.

Originally this Issue was supposed to deliver some insights into Books I want to read this year and some exciting newsletters. Still, I haven’t started reading any of those books (although they are already on my shelf), and I’m behind months on the Finance newsletters I subscribed to. Since I promised to bring more quality content, I’m not comfortable delivering something I’m not happy with. Readers always deserve more.

Issue 25 was planned to finally announce the Podcast & Spoken Version, which I teased a while back, but surprise, besides recording the intro, I wasn’t in the mood for editing and recording.

Besides that, I’m a Hughe procrastinator on some things, and winter depression isn’t making that easier for me. The plan was to write this apology two weeks earlier when I knew I hadn’t prepared anything.

So, I’m not going to promise anything I won’t hold, but I will continue this Newsletter in the Future. I’m still learning finance and enjoy writing a lot (as I still write in my diary daily). I can’t provide a timeline yet.

The idea is to prepare a portfolio insight at least every half year, but as with all content productions, content is challenging. And I’m thankful you joined in as a reader!

Until hopefully soon, Philipp.
