Re: Frugal chicos journal - ERE in The Basque Country
Great news. Loved Denver the few days I spent. It´s a great place to maybe open the hand on the beer front. Lot´s of outdoor as well.

Re: Frugal chicos journal - ERE in The Basque Country
Had a day trip to Biarritz years ago, certainly could see myself spending some time there.

Re: Frugal chicos journal - ERE in The Basque Country
Good to see everything´s on track and that you are enjoying the increased optionality resulting from a disciplined execution of a well thought plan. Curious about the new flat! Wonder what 300 K USD can get you in northern Spain (albeit you guys are targetting probably the more expensive part of the...

Re: Frugal chicos journal - ERE in The Basque Country
Felicitaciones por la promoción. If you guys could keep making US money while living in the Basque Country, even for a couple of years, that would be pretty sweet. I find it a good idea to err on the safe side regarding investments, I too feel that once I shut the door on the corporate world it´ll b...

Re: Frugal chicos journal - ERE in The Basque Country
Great everything´s going well. I also would like to have a "local" rental as well, I like the idea of the cash flow and reducing withdrawals. More of a psychological thing to me, I am thinking about a couple small properties that eventually cover 30-40% of my expenses. That would bring a l...

Re: Frugal chicos journal - ERE in The Basque Country
2 things:
1) We are a binational couple as well, so curious about how the whole moving to a new country thing plays out (we have the added complexity our kid was even born on a third country)
2) It will be fun to see how you cope with the OMY syndrome of making US money in the coming months

Re: Frugal chicos journal - ERE in The Basque Country
FWIW it does add value to see everything goes well, I do enjoy seeing other succeed on this quest, specially ones I can more closely relata to.

Feliz cumpleaños! Parece que fué un día increíble, en un lugar hermoso y con gente querida!
I am on my way for 42 this year, it's indeed a change to enter middle age, but you are doing great for you and your family, everything is going well!

Re: Frugal chicos journal - ERE in The Basque Country
I've also seen my own expenses rise by 10-15%ish, and while I have dug deep and tried my best to find opportunities, inflation is a real thing now (and I feel it's much more than the ~10% informed all across the board), so be careful to not get frustrated if you can't get those expenses back to wher...

Re: Frugal chicos journal - ERE in The Basque Country
Please tell me that plating is from the resort and not something you did at home, it would really make me feel ashamed of my cooking skills.
Nice pictures of Mexico and the Condo!

Re: Frugal chicos journal - ERE in The Basque Country
Haha I much prefer asado, although ceviche is pretty good too. We have this thing going back and forth at home which is the best city for eating Lima or Buenos Aires?? If you ever come around Lima, Santiago or Buenos Aires definitely let me know!

Re: Frugal chicos journal - ERE in The Basque Country
I am from Argentina, my wife is from Peru. We are expecting a baby, that will probably be born in Chile. I think medium term we´ll probably move to Peru, but having the flexibility to travel for extended periods (weeks?) to Argentina or Peru (if we move to a third country or stay in Chile) is someth...
