Early Retirement Extreme Forums

'Allo! Yes - I am living in Copenhagen in Nørrebro. Regarding the travel - I understand the dilemma with taking double leave and have your kid start earlier in day care. I will still urge to consider the possibility and see if you figure something out. Perhaps taking a month with a nonpaid leave or ...

Welcome. Always great to see another Dane! Congratulations on the little one coming in this summer. My son is now 9 months and is just getting better and better. We have done the child stuff extremely frugal boring from friends and family, buying in "mødtehjælpen" etc. Let me know if you w...

Long time no tango It has been a while since my latest Update on my FI journey. Things are going quite well in a special year with extra expenses and lower income due to the fact of being a providing father covering more expenses at home plus my girlfriends pension while she is on parental leave. I ...

@Fbeyer - thank you! Can always rely on you for great input. Will dig in under the Philippine sun.

@Gilberto - thank you for the link.

Hi, all I am planning a 6 weeks long vacation to the Philippines with my girlfriend and son. I need your inspiration for What ERE books to bring? What book have inspired you the most? What should I bring for my girlfriend who are keen to read more on ERE/FI ( I have Jacobs book to bring) Have a grea...

@Eureka - Thanks, and oh no. Stupid money. Didn't know it a mximum of 3 tickets - but great knowledge to keep in mind - should I ever need it. @Jacob - a permant spot, not bad. But I'll have the car sold next week so the third ticket is the farewell salute to having a car (loan) in the centre of Cop...

Aloha from the darkness of It’s time for the November update. It’s going quite ok – my expenses are down and I keep finding small spot to drag out a few more savings. This means I’ll start the year with a discount on $53 compared to last year due to lower phone costs and a break from some charities....

Hi, all I am planning my parental leave and want to kick it of a long way from Denmark with my GF and our little son aged 9 months at the time. We are leaving in the middel of April and are looking to the Phillippines at the moment due to the risk of rain season some of the other Asian getaways. It'...

@DutchGirl - absolutely! In Denmark we have 14 days after the birth with full pay - I took an extra two weeks of vacation so I had one full month when he was born. A Wonderful time. I will keep roughly 50% of my salary when I am on leave so we wont starve. It might be healthy financially. My girlfri...

Hi, all Is it still possible to join the meetup tomorrow In Copenhagen - if so count me in. I'm a journalist but not into stalking, tv or telling other stuff than corporate show off ;-) Who do I write a PM to for the address? Really looking forward to seeing other ere-folks and especially talk a bit...

@Eureka

Great idea with this thread.

Regarding the savings account - do you have to your other financials in the bank as well? Or can I open just the savings account?

Hi, Here is a brief update on September for me and the ERE Journey – it’s been quite a month. Most importantly my little son decided to drop by the 9th in a text book birth with no issues what so ever. What a crazy experience – as the dad you’re pretty much sidelined and basically only can get lemon...

Hi, all Thank you for all the answers. @FBeyer - Stocks is where I have started and I find it quite interesting so I'll keep my focus there for now learning more and moving towards a strategy that fits my self and my journey to FI. Bonds, REITs and metals is also something I'll look into but as of n...

Thank you, BadHorse!

I am well aware of the meet up coming up in the Copenhagen area - and I absolutely plan to join if I can. Would be great to meet for inspiration and discussions on the different paths to FI.

Thank You, inchicago! It's fantastic, surreal and a bit scary that a little being is soon to disrupt our lives complete. But I am sure it'll be the ride of a life time. I am actually building my career at the moment in a huge company which is quite heavy in oldfashioness and internal processes. I ha...
