Welcome. What are your plans for the future?

Thanks for the update LM. Good luck and I will following your regular posts.

Thanks for the update LS.

Ha, okay, another update hereby: In September and October I had taken out everything from our attic: flooring, walls, old insulation, doors etc.. It fitted, after putting it with military precision (according the comments of DW) just in a 10CBM container. Now the rebuilding started and during the la...

It is very much depending on the type of house. To start with, it would good to have an indication of the current insulation, where you are loosing the most heat (energy loss calculation). For example, you can ínsulate walls but if you keep old windows it's not the most efficient way. Note that with...

Hi DG, I guess your week off started today? Hope you can enjoy it!
And January is approaching fast. I am curious how you like the months off early 2021.
Good luck with life.

Thanks @J_ your comments are appreciated. @GreenGentleman: not a fixed timeline regarding the parttime work. I am eyeing summer 2022 as perhaps to stop with current employment. It is a bit depending how it goes with the now parttime job, development of covid-19, how I or my family feels, how does it...

The use of euro and 30% rebate gives me an idea which country your located .
Good luck with the ride!

8 years anniversary of my journal (forget about the one day being late) First a short introduction: ... With the target savings rate this gives 9.5 years before FI. The above was my first post in this journal. Looking back I can conclude we reached FI even (much) sooner. I am now effectively in my 8...

Lot's of things lately at the "something for nothing Inc." business Ego. Always interesting to see what you came accross.

Event A or even B: that's the severity part you"ll need to determine.

@crusader: daylen answered your question to me largely. And again: it is the severity here that makes the difference (for you as a person).

Edith Keeler might give an more sophisticated answer. risk = probability x severity My main focus would be on the severity, in this case mostly "cost". I don't insure my cellphone as it's cheap to replace. No real issue. I don't have a "dental" insurance that is costing me 200 Eu...

Congrats on #2 and 4!!(I assume 2 and 4 are the same or is one on the way and another one "planned"?!

And of course congrats with the house and the 4 days wfh after Covid. Good luck with all preparations and so on.

Wait, what? I missed something I guess....Next time I am at Costco (never, not around here) I will listen to their PA system waiting for your signal.

Nothing special or major, but another week passed by so I thought I will just post a short description of one my days I enjoy now to be off from work. Today, "off" from work, it was very hot (another record I guess) for our country and even more this late in the season. Although I have a l...

Okay, so I got out of a habit of posting frequent updates... The first week of August was pretty busy with work and a few other ongoing things of which most were finished or 95% finished before we went on holiday for two weeks. After that one more week off while staying at home. End of august I rece...

Lol - I'm still here, all okay. Will write a longer update probably in one of the next days!

Sounds like you made the right decision for yourself at this moment. Well done.

No need for 10 million like others said. But the "easiest" for me would probably go in real estate with high leverage. Once you have a large portfolio setup, delaverage it slowly to lower your risk over time and build up equity. In the mean time live from the income. You can do this all wi...

parttime - 20 hrs/week: 0 days = 0 work days (Mo-Th) Today was my last "full time" workday. As of Monday my part-time schedule of 20 hr/wk starts. Yeah!! Though, a couple of things (outside work) are ongoing which is why I don't have a very relaxed feeling yet. But, fingers crossed, these...
