I'm surprised so many in the ERE crowd have fallen for the organic mistake.

Re: On Procrastination

Why do today what can be put off until tomorrow? Can usually be done well enough last minute, which is better. Or dropped entirely.

Re: European Union

That you for the excellent reply. I will have to be careful since I won't be contributing to pension via work. Also, despite being American, I can speak the language of most "major" EU countries.

Re: European Union

Best financial strategy to get Euros? Perhaps invest dollars in European ETFs to match EU inflation.

don't they have freedom of movement? no need to pick just one.
Yes, but it'd be a hassle since most things are handled by the individual country. Looking for the best welfare state.

If you had the ability to gain EU citizenship, which country would you retire in? Healthcare is the big question if you are used to the US.

Get married and don't divorce? If there's any purpose to life (there isn't) it's successful reproduction. Raising kids and having a family is AWESOME. Just do it right.

Hunter gatherer

Any (likely already retired) folks use fishing, hunting and foraging for extreme cost savings on food? How much of your caloric intake is covered this way?

I easily put it all in a $19.95 van. If I didn't have the furniture I'd grab an Uber, Greyhound, or Amtrak, but I...
