A personal finance blog from the EU
Financial independence, the European way.
Private notes on saving, investing and quitting the rat race from this side of the Atlantic, where the funds, the taxes and the pensions all work differently and nobody has to save up for a hospital bill. Human-written, opinionated, never advice.

A personal finance blog about financial independence written from Europe, for Europeans. Human-written, opinionated, and never financial advice.
What you will find here
Europe first
Most FIRE advice is written for Americans. This blog looks at investing as a European: the funds we can actually buy, the pensions we pay into, and the tax rules that differ from one country to the next.
Numbers, not hype
My own portfolio, savings rate and withdrawal rate, shared as they really are: what I hold, what I put away each month, what fees and taxes eat, and how far from FI that leaves me. No courses, no "secret strategies".
Life, not just money
Money is the tool, not the goal. Expect posts about time, work, family and what to actually do with a Tuesday afternoon once you are free.
