Academy

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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%.

It provides all the information you need to take your own decisions.

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.
