Who we are

We are working parent with two small kids living in the Netherlands. We love our jobs but have too many other ambitions and dreams to feel comfortable with the ever more realistic risk that we will be obliged to work until 70, only to hope we get a decent pension by the time we get there.

Financial independence
We joined the small but rapidly growing financial independence (FI) community which is filled with people that do not (only) complain about the slowly deteriorating Dutch social system but have  identified opportunities to sort their own financial future out. In this blog I will keep track of the financial steps we take on our journey to FI, while the lady of the house has better things to do than filling a blog 😉

The blog started with a few posts backtracking our story so far and from October 2018 onwards will keep track of the details of our personal journey to FI. I plan to blog about investing, pension, traveling and mortgage-related stuff I come across, as well as any other FI fun. I Hope you enjoy reading it!
