Early Retirement Extreme Forums

It’ me again with my frequent updates (several years between each post). This time I report from yet another country. COVID lock-down came and went, I left the job with a handshake and I’ve spent the past few years living off-grid in a tiny house in my previous country. It was a great experience alt...

Looking forward to the progress reporting,
ha det gott.

It’s me again. I started saving with Jacob in 2009. Mid 2017 the FI number was 35. Now, end of 2020 the FI number is 60. (For me, FI-number means my assets covers sixty years of annual budgets, no debt, no car, no jewelry and not counting property value because I do live in my forever home (and beca...

Update: 35 ANNUAL BUDGETS I have 35 annual budgets in my assets (excluding one small place to stay plus pension rights). I almost can not believe it is true. It happened because I started serious saving (not just saving but seriously saving) in 2009. Paid off all debt in 2010. Sold the extensive hou...

Thank you Cornerman!

We took our physical jobs, put them on-line and moved to Lisbon, Portugal for the month of February 2017.

Almost doubled our expenses for one month but kept the income so all well. And the Portuguese people, food and winter weather is amazing.

Truly inspiring (and for reminding me what the real survival deal is about). Hat off to you, halfmoon.

I'd love to take some Dutch financial advice from you in a couple of months.

I love this too! You write well and provide sobering thoughts to all who have never stumbled out to an outhouse in the cold morning.(NOBODY needs to go to the bathroom at night when it involves a walk in the dark!) And I remember when the house was a divided battle groun between the cats and the (fi...

Tested ESTJ in 2007.
This year 2016, I tested ESTJ again, although just slightly more extroverted than introverted. (But that means that I can balance the two, doesn't it?)

Update - I have now had a financial independence number above 30 every month since August 2016 (annual budget divided with total assets not including house value or pension rights). The value is increasing without much effort. A little money makes a little money from interests and dividends but a lo...

It is the struggle between having it all now and making sacrifices for having some for eternity, isn't it. I too look at houses dreaming about owning and then have nightmares about being a property owner again. While we have a rent controlled 'social-huur woning' in the capital centre and it is a be...

I am so happy to hear the meetup went well. I most certainly want to join you next time!

Dear Danes,
I can not be in Copenhagen this weekend. Really sad, I wish it was not so!
Enjoy the meet-up and please post an update!

I will be coming over the bridge too!

Good going Eureka!!

Good boy!

I just read this: www.onevikinggirl.blogspot.com

You are doing the right thing. Is the car gone yet?

Remember, it only takes five years!
Det er ikke så lang tid

UPDATE - I am trying to count how long I have been FI. If it was seven months in March 2015, it is now a year and ten months. In the time I have learned that I probably will never stop working. Not completely. Although I am out of the work identity stress (and this was for me the hardest part-projec...
