Is Netherlands worth moving to? Currently living in Estonia, making 4.5k net per month. I definitely can save up here more than in NL. But was thinking if NL will provide me with something unique

Depending on what’s your benchmark is. I don’t know about Estonia but Netherlands is good for WLB, relaxed, laid back people are friendly, English speaking - but you also have to understand that career growth opportunities are limited, weather is unpredictable and healthcare is horrible.

Home reno financing question. Have a big project coming up in the $120-150k range. Funding sources are:
- 90k from a heloc around prime
- 10k from a credit card that offers promo checks at 2-3% for 12-18 months
- 375k in a brokerage
- 5-6k per month cash that I can put towards the project, loans, or brokerage

I don't want to stop funding the brokerage because my FIRE plan is less numbers based than "hoard like dragon until it's enough" but maybe I should... How would you optimize?
