“Thank you for the course! It’s very clear. I’ve learned more about investing taking the first module of the course today than I did in a decade.”
– Els
“The course took away my fear of investing: Time in the market beats timing the market.”
– Jorden
“The course helped me to start up index investing with comfort, knowing I’m doing the right thing and in an easy way.”
– Tom
My biggest reason for investing is that I want to give my children a better future than I had.
I am now 38 and have my life on track. My wife and I don’t earn that badly and have already been able to save a nice amount. It’s time to do something meaningful and future-oriented with it. FIRE Belgium came into my life at the right time.
I did not hesitate to take the course and have not regretted it for a moment.
I recommend it to anyone who wants to get more out of their money in a passive way. I admit that these are not the best economic times, but you will learn that it is actually an ideal situation to start investing.
Start the course and take matters into your own hands!
“I can’t emphasize enough how useful the course has been for me, and how much peace of mind index investing has given me.”
– Janina
“The course changed the way I think about money and life. I would like this course to be integrated in education for the youth in Belgium at the end of highschool.”
– Chloe
“The course goes in great detail on how to invest in index funds, from basics to advanced. And the support provided with the monthly Q&A is extraordinary. 5 stars.”
– Rui
We loved working with Sebastien because of the knowledge, experience, and passion he shares during his course. He pays attention to his students and their challenges and he is very genuine.
We really recommend the course for anyone starting their journey with investing or financial independence and feels overwhelmed. This course is clear, and very well structured. It has all the essential information for anybody who wants to pursue FI by investing in ETFs. It offers an easy step-by-step plan to follow and start immediately.
💬 Thank you for the course, Sebastien. I have no finance background and no interest in finance whatsoever. I have been wondering for years how to invest my savings, as I was aware of the inflation effect. But I never trusted banks for investments. Finally you gave me a solution! The course is clear and well constructed. It shows experience in dealing with students. And I feel confident enough now to get started. Thank you!

“The more I listen to the course Q&A sessions, the more my mindset changes in the way I think about risk and investing. Thanks to the practical guidance of the course I have invested large amounts with confidence.”
– Pascal
“Thanks to the course, I have peace of mind that retirement is prepared and I can now focus more on other important issues.”
– Man
“After I make index investing work for myself, I’d like to pass this knowledge to my brother and sister, and to their children, so they can also have a good life and do good things …”
– Sophie
“Speaking from my own experience, it is very good value for money. Even if the course would cost a thousand euros or more, I think that is easily recouped by the value you get out of it, especially in the long-term when you consider the gains you get over multiple years.”
– David
“I joined the course because I learned about the FIRE movement online but all the information that you find online is very much geared to the US market. This course provides the information for Belgium in an easy package so I don’t waste too much time investigating it all by myself.”
– Marcia
“A big benefit from the course is that I know that I am working towards a good pension and financial stability, but doing so without putting too much time in it. I just live my daily life while being more secure about my finances. To me, that’s the biggest benefit.”
– Loic
💬 Very practical course that has been instrumental for me to start index investing! My initial knowledge was extremely limited and the course allowed me to understand all important concepts and to feel comfortable taking control of my finances.
Alexis
The program was very beneficial to get started with Index Investing.
The course provides both the understanding of how index investing works as well as the practical steps and confidence to go ahead with it. I benefited mostly from the practical part, especially in picking a Broker, an ETF, and optimizing taxes. A small mistake or suboptimal choice in investing may easily cost more than the price of this program.
After the course, I was able to invest confidently and regularly for the long term with peace of mind.
“I am extremely happy that I can deal with inflation, my low government pension and take matters into my own hands.
I was impressed with the high level of the course. It was complete, thorough, understandable for anybody, the videos and communication was very professionally done.
I would recommend the course to anyone who wants a profit from their savings! Age, education, profession … it does not matter. Everyone can all benefit from this course. I am convinced ETFs will become much more popular in the future in Belgium.”
– Ann
💬 I do recommend the course for anyone who wants to take ownership of their own future without spending weeks learning the financial world.

“Thanks to the course my money will not be losing value to inflation on a savings account. I am also glad I’ve found a way to keep my money out of the hands of the banks and make it work for me, by me!
Sébastien has a calm, collected style of explaining. He uses a lot of examples, charts, graphs,… it really helps to understand the material. I feel that the course is well researched and supplemented with his own experience.
I would recommend the course to absolutely anyone who wants to take matters in their own hands with regard to their own financial situation.”
– Roel
The course with Sebastien solved that problem for me as he explained very clearly what ETFs were available, which ones were optimal for investors in Belgium, including sustainable options. He also explained how taxes work and how we can best handle that as well as the other costs involved in investing. Thanks to this course, I have now opened my brokerage account and I have started investing in ETFs.
I already feel the benefits of taking control of my investing. Financial independence is a good prospect. I feel more confident about the future and more free!
“I joined the course because Sébastien does not have a conflict of interest, unlike most other financial institutions and because it is tailored to Belgium.”
– Robin
“This is the program I was looking for: Step by step learning based upon the experience of someone who has gone through the whole process.”
– Stephan
“I didn’t want to speculate so I signed up to get started properly, and learn how to “buy the casino”. That expression stuck with me 😉 ”
– Michael
I’ve followed the course in the winter of 2021 – at the time I was 32 – and have been actively investing since. I can now invest for myself in a long term low risk approach with the hopes of reaching a financially secure and/or comfortable life.
The course breaks down all the necessary steps, from understanding the principles to actively getting started. It highlights potential pitfalls as well as beneficial aspects to adhere to, ensuring a stable long term investment strategy for Belgians. Different execution strategies are made available to suit your preferences. To follow the course is an investment itself, in both time and a money, however I’ve never regretted it. The quality of the mic and camera could be a little better but the knowledge is nevertheless ingestible.
For sure, I recommend this for everyone that wants to build financial stability beyond the typical Belgian governments funds or bank funds in a low risk manner, without the additional inflated taxes and fees that diminish your return. Especially for young tweens I cannot but recommend – and have done so – in order to get the compounding started. The earlier you start, the faster you get the compounding effects going. I have noticed that gen z prefers the curvo way over the few manual steps you have to as is laid out in this course, which I identify more as the millennial’s way of investing.
This knowledge is for absolutely everyone who doesn’t know where to start handling their money. Whether you save 500 euros, 5000 euros or more, you, as a regular normal person who hasn’t got any financial education, you can learn to take control and invest your money without having to rely on a bank or some other financial service provider. Absolutely everyone, whether you are a student, just starting at a job, more advanced or even already retired. Everyone can benefit from taking control of their finances and their lives.
“Very practical course that has been instrumental for me to start index investing! My initial knowledge was extremely limited and the course allowed me to understand all important concepts and to feel comfortable taking control of my finances.“
– Alexis
The course has given me control and a clear goal to save money for the long term. Without the course I would be very insecure.
Sébastien’s knowledge on the subject of index investing is amazing. He has the gift of explaining things very clearly to a diverse audience. His course could be an example of how to make a high standard online course.”
– Michael
“The course gave me an instant recipe for investing in stock and bond index ETFs, that is easy to follow. Week by week, step by step, learning what I need to know so that I can invest on my own.”
– Petra
💬 The Accelerator Pack helped me to do the first practical steps in index investing quickly, opening a broker account and making my first transaction. I felt very well accompanied by Sebastian all along the way. He is a very diligent and dedicated instructor. The course in itself is well structured, but in addition Sebastian also makes sure that everybody gets their questions answered, which is very helpful. I can highly recommend the course!
Ana
The tangible benefits for me are a very precious gain of time and a concentration of information available in an efficient and entertaining way. Indeed, I managed in a few weeks to build an additional retirement project from scratch to reality.
This is also a big emotional relief to know that this investment plan is now in place, that my savings do not lose value anymore and that my retirement plan is in good shape. I can now enjoy more or focus on other personal projects.
Make your money work for you in a reasonable way, not in a casino style where it’s either a winner or loser, but it’s really in a robust, thoughtful way that can definitely be a much better option than just having it lying on your bank account.
Since starting investing over one year ago, I have seen a return on my investment of roughly 9%.
“I felt very well accompanied by Sebastien all along the way. He is a very diligent and dedicated instructor. The course in itself is well structured, but in addition Sebastien also makes sure that everybody gets their questions answered, which is very helpful. I can highly recommend the course!”

What you will learn in the course is that the sooner you get into the markets, the more benefit you will have out of it, depending of course on the amount of money you invest and for how long. But you will see it probably growing faster than on your savings accounts or with a bank investment. So you will earn the course price back quite quickly.
💬 First of all, many thanks for having built that course. About the course and the material, I find it very clear and well-articulated. It really helps to progress and to smoothly endorse that new role. Having said that, most important is what this course convey beyond a number of hours of theory or useful assets. I wish I could have followed it 30 years, or maybe even 40 years ago. Why 30 years ago? Because everyone should be thought the role of money and how it will affect everyone’s life. It took me 56 years to understand that the educational system is a “sheeps factory”. I am convinced that providing such a course and every student being given 5.000 Euros tied to a mandatory assignment, it wouldn’t take more than a generation to transition from a society mainly divided between “sheeps” and “wolves” into a “shepherd dogs” society, if well guided. I am happy to develop. Thanks again.
Pietro
It provides all the information you need to take your own decisions.
“It will help me take more control of my finances and I will be able to share my experience with my kids and those around me.”
