Hi from Denmark
Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2017 2:39 pm
Hello everybody
I'm with you from Denmark (as well as many others ).
I fell over Mr. Money Mustache's blog a little over a year ago and I have been on fire ever since then. I was not sure whether I should join the forum, but I think I need some like minded people before I drive my friends and family crazy. And my colleauges too. I have talked about Mr. Money Mustache and Jakob to many of them now, but I don't think any of them have bought the idea yet. All I have received is a blank stare, haha
I have tried to calculate how much money I could save within ten years, but it was not impressive enough so I gave up the idea, and bought a lot of stuff for the house etc. When I read Mr. Money Mustache I figured out how to save up more aggressively and also the idea that you don't really need all that stuff. The year before I spend decluttering using the KonMari method, and it also helped a lot. Now I'm hoping to retire within 8 years
About me: I'm 35 years old, married with 3 children, engineer, working in a biotech company, interests: playing music, water sports, creative stuff, reading and many more.
Cheers
