We europeans don’t get this …each house has washing machine and most of them drying one as well…

it was one of the first things we bought with my wife when we start living together …

it was around 1000€ but both machines will live around 10 years …

Congrats! I’m going on 5 months of not working and traveling but alas I return to work next month in another country.

Enjoy that Netflix!

I don’t think your strategy sounds like F.I.R.E.

[Tak]

so, you are doing this because you are already FIRE and happy to get some no pressure gig?

or you saying you have these no-pressure gig without having enough money for FIRE, but you are equally happy?

Love this for you!! Opportunities pop up when you least expect it!
I’m going on 8 months without regular employment, but have spent 3 months in Thailand and currently sitting at SLC Airport, flying to Japan for 3 months…

petsitting around the world.

When I’m home (SF area) side gigs fuel the next trip.

FIRE, I think, is finding a way to fund a life that brings you joy.

And money doesn’t always equate to joy.

There are so many side gigs available. People just don’t know about them. I have about 7 little side gigs.

People always wonder how I can travel so much.

It’s because of my side gig money bringing in travel funds.

I do not watch TV.

I guess “living the dream” is defined vastly different for everyone. Sounds like you’re happy with this and enjoying what you’re doing.

Lift the baskets for customers and you’ve got your workout, too. No gym needed.

Those machines still use quarters, and not pay by credit/debit/stored-value card?
