Back to Georgia, Back to Gym

6 October, 2018 | Health & Wellness | 11 seen

It has been already 9 days since we have been relocated back to Georgia, and it has been already 5 days I have been back to the gym.

Now this time I returned 120.5kg... that's insane. A year ago my weight was about 102 kilos. On average I have gained 20 kilos in 2018. There are two simple reasons to explain this. First and most important - a newborn baby born. Second - I quit smoking about 4 months ago.

I believe both happenings have a huge impact on my total body weight. Now, I feel really happy holding little toddler on my hands and knowing she will raise a healthy girl free of tobacco smoke. Also, I feel it's time to get back into the shape.

I renewed my membership at Champions Academy (160GEL.mo) and 5 days later have already lost 2 kilos or have got down to 118.5 kg. Still, at least 18.5kilos to lose. I feel this is going to be a tough autumn/ winter season.

• Back to the Gym - Get Under 99kg Beard Challenge

My best result so far has been 97.2 kg on March 23rd, 2017. The worst so far has been recorded on October 1, 2018, at 120.5 kg.

Actual Price Index at Tbilisi Market - October 2018

5 October, 2018 | Living in Georgia | 8 seen

Three years ago I launched a fun project - Actual Price Index at Tbilisi market, just to document price movements for veggies and fruits in the market, depending on the season. In total I have made two kinds of research for 2015 and 2016, see: Actual Price Index in Tbilisi Market (Georgia) - At Start of October 2015 and Actual Price Index at Tbilisi Market - March 2016

Now, today, three years later I once again decided to measure, how prices have changed in the past three years.

Here is my basket of goods I bought in Tbilisi market on October 1, 2018

Veggies from Tbilisi market

As you can see there has been some inflation over the years, but also…

September 2018 Dividend Income Report - $65.33

3 October, 2018 | Investments | 11 seen

Welcome to the seventieth (#17) dividend income report, covering earnings I've made from dividend-paying stocks, peer to peer lending (both fiat and cryptocurrencies) in September 2018. 

In case you are wondering why I'm sharing online my earnings - the answer is pretty simple - I like transparency and these reports help me to observe my progress or bounces. Hopefully, my reports can give some inspiration to you as well. (If so, please leave a short comment below) Also, I have a goal to reach one million dollars in my bank account by the time I will turn 60 (27 years still to go). 

Last September turned worst than expected - mostly because I didn't receive two dividend payments, on the other hand, I will receive them in October, which will boost this year October dividend income report.

HashMart Bitcoin Cloud Mining Review

2 October, 2018 | Crypto | 23 seen

It has been a time since I last time reviewed some of the cloud mining platforms. It was at the end of September when I noticed an ad from HashMart.io and decided to explore more. 

Seems that HashMart.io is a Russian cloud mining company incorporated in Cyprus. 

Disclosure:  This article contains affiliate links to hashmart.io cloud mining website, by clicking on links on this page and by making a purchase on hashmart.io, I will earn a 5% affiliate income at no cost to you. Also, I'm not a financial advisor and I don't give you any advice, I'm just sharing my own experience. Investments in stocks, funds, bonds or cryptos are risk investments and you could lose some or all of your money. Do your due diligence before investing in any kind of asset. 

Hashmart is a small enterprise with a global goal: now that almost everyone on the planet has a smartphone, we want each of you be able to have access to Cryptocurrencies and to the numerous advantages they can bring.   

Now, this goal probably is a bit silly, as for getting a piece of cryptocurrency it's enough to open an account at Coinbase and buy…
