About Kate App – Who am I
I’m (halfway as of mid-2019) on my path to financial independence. My 3 core values are Connection, Independence and Freedom.
I’m a professional with 15+ years in software development which gave me the means to travel the world and to make friends across the globe.
Eventually, I settled in Berlin where I became somewhat of a unicorn (as you can see on the picture).
Why listen to me
I lead by example. In the 3 years since I started this blog, I have jumped in the deep waters.
I have personally tried and tested many strategies, faced my biggest fears, verified many hypotheses so you don’t have to.
Nevertheless, I encourage you to get your hands dirty and make your own experiences.
Featured on
My articles are featured on Camp FIRE Finance and Rockstar Finance. One of my articles was the blog post of the month on the Financial Independence Hug of Europe – FireHub.Eu.
My numbers (since 2015)
- 101% net worth growth
- 42% saving rate
- 24% stock investment growth
My net worth is growing, and best of all – I am slowly figuring out what meaningful work means to me.
After experimenting with a 6-month sabbatical, and part-time work I realised – Financial independence is good but what do I do with all this free time ?! That’s how the Goal shifted from financial independence to creating a life I don’t need a vacation from.
In addition, I publish interviews with people who inspire me asking them about anything from their goals to their strategies and how they overcome obstacles on the way.
Some nice things people have said about my blog
I have inspired a lot of people to take a closer look at their finances. I can do the same for you!
Well done starting this blog, Kate! Beautiful and informative, I am looking very much forward to future articles. Thanks for the inspiration!
Awesome Kate! I am gonna follow your way to financial independence. This is actually kind of my goal too.
With the help of your blog post, I discovered new books and learnt a lot. Thank you!
It’s fantastic to read about your learnings along the way and how you improved your approach!
Keep going!
It’s motivating to see your statistics like net worth grow – I should this as well (I only track my savings rate and measure my approximative net worth a few times per year)
Thanks for your courage, commitment, openness and transparency. All of which are actually Agile values.
You are truly an inspiration, Kate.
