Just joined fishbowl. Getting familiar with the content and see it’s mostly US-based professionals.
Would be great to develop this EU group!
I’m based out of Luxembourg, what about everyone else?

If someone recommended you reach out to a mutual friend to get to know them for a relationship, do you ever mention that to the person?

So is it just us on this bowl. Totally fine if it is. This evening we had a rose. It’s from sojourn, one of my favorite boutique wineries. They had a promotion where a case was 30% off so I had to do it. After discount but plus tax was $26 a bottle which is expensive for a rose in general but for a Rose of Pinot noir was a good price. Paired it with Dover sole dusted in flour and fried in butter. Made a reduction with the rose, capers and lemon juice end up bit salty but was ok since we had wine

Chris Stapleton might be a cool guy. Maybe he has some good music. But every time I hear him sing “drive on” during a Ram commercial I want to punch him in the face. Ram has overplayed that one.

Anybody in Frankfurt?

Anyone in Austria?

Ugh I just signed to fix my house’s mortgage interest rate at 2,73% for 2years. Get a gut feeling this wasn’t a good deal.
Have you fixed or planning to? If yes, how many years and at what rate?

Just checked all the assets and realized we're close to 1M€ net worth. Most of it is on the house, don't feel rich at all.

Have you been fired before even starting your new job?

I signed for a new job two months ago and will start next month (3 mo notice period in Europe). They were very keen on getting me on-board ASAP before signing but since I signed the contract it has been silent from the new employee. I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.

Hi all, how did you solve the retirement puzzle?

As an expat, I went on the Degiro for investing at the moment, since the account can be used from all countries.

Was considering to invest also in an insurance, but is apparently not possible if you live abroad and then maybe go back to the home country.

Have any tips?

So, how many days left before you start the holiday seasons? What are your biggest priorities for the new year?
