What is the purpose of the work vpn? What protocol and software does it require to connect and does the IT department block certain units to connect?
Remember also that chromebooks only get a maximum of 5 years of software updates of the operating system. Far less if you buy an old model.

Re: wolf's journal
I see that the full-time work give you a cash flow while decreasing your free time. That combo favor using money to solve problems, while not favoring the broader toolbox of the renaissance man.

Re: Journal From A Dane
Nice progress.
There is options to detailed tracking. I am taking a break from detailed tracking this year, but may restart next year. Even without detailed tracking you can get an estimate of the savings rate by comparing earned income to money going into investment accounts.

Re: investment costs
What is the cost for a global index fund? Could that replace some of the other funds?
The fund I use in Sweden has the annual total cost of 0.11%.

Re: FI in Sweden
The insurance is included in the other category the month when I pay . I pay about $100 for a year. I live and work in a small community with less than 1000 population. Renting an apartment is very convenient as a single man compared to owning something. Theoretically, it could be cheaper to buy and...

Re: wolf's journal
It looks like that you were very frugal already before giving it a deeper thought.
What happened the year when your savings rate was low? Did you include some big purchase that year, like a car?

Re: DutchGirl's journal
The savings rate is probably better than most people. You probably have to be a bit careful about lifestyle inflation when owning a house. I noticed that many people I know, overspend both time and money on their houses. Some repairs are of course critical so that the house does not get damaged. But...

Are there any downsides for you parents with this kind of arrangement? Do they have the same protection as a savings account or do they have a slim risk of losing their money?

I had extra expenses in July for my vacation, increasing my food and entertainment costs. It is interesting that I can cashflow extra expenses and still save money each month. The last time I didn’t cashflow a month was over five years ago, when I bought my car. The company that I work for has latel...

Re: Journal From A Dane
Nice income this Month.
You are a far more careful investor than me. I am just now finishing paying off debt used for for buying stocks earlier. Are you getting any interest at all for your money in ”fixed income”? Do you expect many big expenses in the near future?
