Website: https://www.tradeville.eu/ Send them an email to ask for the English forms that you will have to fill before you open your account.

Re: What are you eating today? Cooking inspiration!
Beef stew. Everyone wanted seconds.
Braised cubed Beef & onions, added Carrot, Turnip, Mushrooms, red wine, tarragon and bay leaves, some salt, top up with water until covered.
Simmer & reduce for 3 hours.

Re: How would you deal with losing a social group post ER?
I figure out if I'm friends with someone at work, after I leave there rather than at the time. I have picked up some good friends that way, after the fact of chance association, and that way you know you have something other than work in common when it comes about. For the last few years, I cultivat...

Re: reepicheep's journal
Your life experiences, lifestyle and direction are so very far away from anything in my life: So I say, thanks for sharing your stuff. Everyone should have a chance taste of being everyone else, occasionally. You definitely bring that to the ERE party. I hope when you're done processing the stuff yo...

Re: Noedig's Journal
However, as 75% of ftsee100 earnings are made abroad, tanking £ would translate to higher profit when companies repatriate earnings from abroad. So, it's hard to figure out how the index will do. Indeed. Am still 100% in the markets, still waiting for a crash, meanwhile making modest bank. BTW FIRE...

Re: Socially acceptable greeting from Finland
Greetings from London. I recently FIREd after about 8 years seriously saving, and (alas) 34 years working.
Best wishes for you. I almost worked in Helsinki once, but the swirling vortex of the UK financial services industry, would not let me leave London.

Re: Kipling's Journal
I had a couple of bottles of Chateau Kirwan 2010 the other week. Heavenly. Be careful you don't end up like two of my friends - more wine than they will ever drink. You could sell it I suppose. That becomes a hobby in itself. Luxury experiences must be intermittent to still seem luxurious. I avoid p...

Re: A Romanian's FI Journey
Hello there. Well done, to take your path has required initiative: that is not common. Where did you learn your excellent English?

Re: Hey guys.. my situation if you want to read. Cheers
The trouble with market timing, is that you have to make a decision to get out of the market, then you have to make a decision to get into it. Both of these are problematic : how do you know when the crash is going to happen? How do you know when the market has hit bottom? For these reasons, "T...

Re: Noedig's Journal - update on FIRE
Update after 4 months of FIRE: I've no remorse for the decision to quit my work. I had done One More Year to placate my fears, and I am OK with that choice: it's behind me now. My stress levels are way way down. Now when stress arises I usually have time to mentally examine it and turn it over in my...

I gave notice last week. Friday is my last day. Since announcing it, have had nothing but "Why did I wait so long?" in my mind. The stock market is currently tanking, but I am still just above my Number. More importantly, I simply don't give a monkey's. I had thought, that I would carry on...

Re: extremely frugal vegan keto,keto, and carnivore diets
Anecdotally, here is my recent experience of doing keto It works, there is no doubt of that. The tough part is sticking to the carb limit, other than that it takes care of itself, with many upsides aside from the weight loss: no sugar crashes, less hunger, less thinking about food. The weekly food s...

@halfmoon, that's kind words indeed. I am mindful of the situation with your DH. For which my kindest thoughts in return.
Woven through your blog posts, your DH strides, epically independent and stubborn and fixing stuff up. Bless you both.
