    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)!

    Moving From Action Taking to Intelligent Action Taking

    MINDSET 
    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

    INTRO 
    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...

    26 and going for first £3000/month

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    @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...

    I'm in Waldtrudering until mid-July and will be back around the second week of October. If you can let me know beforehand that you'll be in town at the same time I am, the first "Cold frosty beverage" is on me. I am in the middle lane with my left-hand signal on, trying to move over into the...

    Why you should buy a home as early as possible.

    GOLD! HOT! ASSERTION 
    @jclean and @biophase I agree in principle with most of your contention(s). @jclean had the "Money quote" (): You have to live somewhere [emphasis added]. Peter Lynch (in either Beating the Street or One Up on Wall Street, I can't recall which) mentioned that buying a home essentially leads...

    Dear @MaximilianT, Are you from Südtirol? My mother-in-law is from East Tyrol. I just posted a reply above with my background: Retired U.S. military. My wife is an attorney in Germany. We're usually over here but spend as much time in the U.S. as possible. [Proud Dad moment follows:] My...

    About me: I retired from the military seven years ago. I began working part-time as a defense contractor shortly after that and am blessed with a fantastic team. I split the rest of my time between my family and building businesses. The following are a couple random thoughts I had as I...
