@vrexec "You own a small getaway property in a sleepy rainy windswept part of the world like Scandinavia"

I recommend Finland for this. Very underrated and overlooked. You can buy a cabin for fairly cheap compared to Sweden & Norway. Safe & relaxed. Pure, endless nature to roam

[vr @vrideas]

@paulg Try Helsinki next. Its just a ferry ride away. Its like miniature Stockholm but calmer and more relaxed. With worlds best sauna culture.

[vr @vrideas]

@vrexec Is that 65k net after tax? or is it 65k pretax?

if 65k net then srs impressive by euro standards

[vr @vrideas]

@pslcq_psx I stayed for a while

very vibe, reminds me of nordic lapland

[vr @vrideas]

@itsrapha83 wow! is spring so far in middle-europe? where are these taken from if i may ask? that first pic is incredible

[vr @vrideas]

few days at the cabin. remote work, sauna, recovery.

all is well and everything is possible

@vrexec @blueprintsmb22 whats the thing your 48 old self is calling you to do the most?

idea for a post: write a letter to yourself from the pov of you as 48 yo self living the absolute dream existence

[vr @vrideas]

@84Aleha These are amazing. Absolutely unique vibes. Are these inspired by the places where you live?

[vr @vrideas]

@vrexec Yep! I think its a major hidden gem. I mean its not hidden, people do know about it. But its literally one of the two places europe that have great weather in the winter

Very hilly though and the driving is crazy. And it has many microclimates. But I do love it. Eternal spring.

@leothecurious I think most of them are content with their situation. Of course outliers can be found and they standout.

@watchking69 what exactly in this video was the thing that you could not do if you made 250k year?

[vr @vrideas]

@MittCPA In summer?

[vr @vrideas]

@anakin0010110 Love Bosnian food so much. I visit Bosnia once a year to flyfish and the lunch is the best part of the day. Cevapi with some onions, ajvar and kajmar, cant beat it

[vr @vrideas]

@simonsarris how do you know who Henri Toivonen is? genuinely curious!

[vr @vrideas]

@bisontattooguy Added this as a background for my mac, thanks! I wish we had places like these in europe.

[vr @vrideas]

I just found a yt channel of a person who 4 years ago FIREd with 70k€ portfolio + working 2 months per year . 2026 will be the first year she will not work at all and will live completely off of the portfolio gains.

She looked like a super happy, content person living a great life.

@willdefries Incredibly cozy. is that a lake or just a small pond?

[vr @vrideas]

@OliverWDahl Incredibly cozy, this is what america looks like in my mind always

[vr @vrideas]

I only have authority on Europe and here this is very much correct. You can live a great life with 600k.

I also think financial tech will improve and safe, stable yields of 6-10% without any volatility and very little risk will come the norm in the future.

Buying back months is a great reframing.

[VB Knives @Empty_America]

One motivation for saving money is to consider that each 50K you save produces enough annual interest to cover basic expenses for 1 month of the year.

Man is born a slave and it costs about 600K all in all to buy your freedom.

But buying back August isn't a bad start.
