    I've Read The Great Rat-Race Escape!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I just finished reading Unscripted: The Great Rat Race Escape (TGRRE, as everyone seems to be abbreviating). Pro(s): I thought the interspersion of the story with lessons fleshed out from TMF and Unscripted was unique for works of this nature and effective, as the story was a sort of...

    Why you should buy a home as early as possible.

    GOLD! HOT! ASSERTION 
    Shack, @MitchC! [That's pilot-speak for "You scored a direct hit on the target"] I agree in large part with @Guest-5ty5s4 here. Monopoly was alright when the kids were too young to understand rudimentary financial statements, but once they were old enough I introduced Cashflow to them. It's...

    I know ferries have enabled this for decades, but it still astounds me that humans can move themselves by car or rail from one island to another. Whether it's UK-Continent via the 'Chunnel,' or Denmark-Sweden via the bridges and tunnels, or the Seikan Tunnel that connects Honshu-Hokkaido; what...

    This might be one way to deal with this particular problem. TL; DR: The legislature must be reconstructed at nearly all levels of government. Legislative processes are breaking down at every level. Part of this can be traced back to the modern professional bureaucracy movement that in many...

    Hello from Germany and the plan, to get REALLY rich

    INTRO 
    My wife attended law school here in Germany, but not in the US. She can only practice over here.

    Hello from Germany and the plan, to get REALLY rich

    INTRO 
    Grüß Gott aus Bayern, buy_the_dip. I have the opposite problem, my German needs to improve. I took over a year of immersive German classes at a local Sprachschule but never really practiced writing. My comprehension is acceptable, speaking is okay (although accented), and writing is atrocious...

    Hi @Fox! I signed up. I'm not on Facebook, is there a repeater group on other social media channels? Thanks.

    Thank you and ditto if you're in the Munich area (I'll be mostly out-of-town from mid-July until mid-October but any other time is fine)!

    Would this be something akin to taking action in accordance with a plan? Thanks for the post and please continue de-lurking.

    How to earn money as a teen in Europe

    INTRO 
    Hi Nichlas, A friend of mine runs an electric vehicle (EV) charging-related app. I can't read Danish, but he doesn't appear to have his web site translated into English (*HINT*), German, French, Spanish, or any other language. He'll be subjected to the same labor rules constraining everyone...

    Heh! That was funny years ago, but most of them have been over here now and understand it's Germany's interstate highway system equivalent. I'm more often frustrated at the slowness of it nowadays. When I was over here the first couple times Germany was still in recession and there weren't so...

    I used to live in Friedberg, just up the A5 from you. To this day that is the only place I've ever worked in which my name was on the building. Missouri had such a high influx of Germans in the 1800s that the Missouri River from Jefferson City to just west of Saint Louis is colloquially known...

    Servus @sergermane! I'm originally from Saint Louis, Missouri. Where are you when you're in Germany? Where are you when you're in Canada? I have fond memories of a few weekends in Winnipeg.

    Thoughts about the Middle Lane

    MINDSET 
    @Kevin88660 this is as it should be. If given the choice I'd rather elect the surgery be performed by the doctors that put all of their energy into perfecting their craft rather than the ones that clocked in and out on-time in order to spend an extra hour or two on their side-hustle. The point...

    Thoughts about the Middle Lane

    MINDSET 
    There is a niche class of folks who don't quite fit the description of "Slow-lane" drivers but who have not really entered the #Fastlane. I'll call these folks the "Middle lane drivers" (MLD). Ironically you're most likely to encounter them driving to or from work in the middle lane of your...

    If Google keeps running afoul of GDPR, that will certainly represent a market entry for you. How far along are you?

    Life in the third world

    Hi @Sartk! A college degree in your country (and here in Germany) is taxpayer-funded. It is not free. The taxes I paid the one year I worked full-time over here would have covered a year at an ivy-league university in the USA. Health care is a similar conundrum over here with...

    @The Racing Driver if you plan to stay in Europe for your flying career, make certain to become extremely familiar and comfortable with instrument flying. There were months in the winter over here my bros and I were the only people who saw the sun. That was assuming the weather was good enough...
