Welcome to the Wealthmap blog

Why we are starting a blog, what we will publish, and how you can follow along.

We built Wealthmap because keeping track of money across stocks, ETFs, deposits, real estate, and loans was a chore that no existing tool solved cleanly for European investors. This blog is where we will share what we learn along the way: practical guides, product notes, and the occasional opinionated take.

What you will find here

  • Practical guides — how to handle currency conversion, withholding tax, rebalancing thresholds, and other questions every portfolio runs into eventually.
  • Product notes — what we are building, why we are building it, and what we deliberately decided not to build.
  • Personal-finance opinions — investing is full of received wisdom that does not survive contact with reality. We will call out the parts we think are wrong, and try to be honest about the parts we are unsure of.

We are not a research firm and we are not your advisor. Everything here is for information only. If a decision involves real money, get a second pair of eyes before you act.

How to follow along

More to come.

When extra mortgage payments beat bonds: a German homeowner's math
The 'if bond yield beats mortgage rate, invest' rule ignores German capital-income tax. For an employee whose annual allowance is already used, a 3.2% mortgage needs a German government bond yielding roughly 4.35% to win, and nothing on the curve clears that bar.
