    €40,000 Sitting In Bank...Don't Know What To Do!

    HOT! 
    Yes it is 30% down here. That is certainly an option. Not sure if where I live will be a big Air BNB place as its not very touristy but who knows; I haven't researched it so it could be a good spot. Thank you.

    €40,000 Sitting In Bank...Don't Know What To Do!

    HOT! 
    Yes...that's true. With what I have in savings I would have no choice but to take out a mortgage. After fees I would have very little left for anything else for at least a few months until I can build up savings again. Haha...I will get back to you on that. Thank you.

    €40,000 Sitting In Bank...Don't Know What To Do!

    HOT! 
    Well, if it something I have made my mind up about then I will make time. I got to this point in savings because I live frugally. I don't own transport, (cycle everywhere), I don't eat out or go out much, I don't spend money on things I don't need, haven't dated for a while to stay focused and...

    €40,000 Sitting In Bank...Don't Know What To Do!

    HOT! 
    Yes. What has happened is that I have arrived at what seems to be a set amount of earnings coming in each month. It's like I hit a wall and need to climb up and over it to get to the next level of earnings.....scaling. Maybe paying for outsourcing will get me over that wall. Maybe I need to...

    €40,000 Sitting In Bank...Don't Know What To Do!

    HOT! 
    Yes, that is one of the options I have been thinking about. I am not 100% sure what is working but maybe if I pulled away say €5,000 and used it to scale up what I am doing that may bring more money in which in turn may help me to save up/invest more. Yes, being financially free would certainly...

    Real Estate Crowdfunding - Is It A Waste Of Time?

    Due diligence is a given. The housing market in Spain seems to be skyrocketing at the moment though.

    Real Estate Crowdfunding - Is It A Waste Of Time?

    Hey there, I have some money saved up and have been searching for any good ways to invest it....instead of let it sit in the bank. I see real estate crowdfunding seems to be popular with a not so difficult entry level. So someone could invest a few thousand on a property or two. I am not sure...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I read UNSCRIPTED as soon as it was launched. A fantastic book but I think one read, for me, was not enough to pick up all the info. I need to get back to it but this time take notes because there was a lot to take in. I still prefer Millionaire Fastlane as I feel that was the book that kind of...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I actually read the Millionaire Fastlane quite a few years back and it taught me to look at the world of entrepreneurship differently. I was comfortably chugging along the "slowlane" and didn't even know it. A couple years back I listened to the audio book and I feel right now I am due for...

    Where To Turn? - Spend My Savings On Life Or Buy A Home & Be Responsible?

    My next steps? I think I definitely need to sort out my mindset. I think that is a big part of why I seem to struggle with things. I need to find a way to deal with my negative voice. Begin getting into the habit of planning my weeks and not just letting things "happen".....begin taking control...

    Where To Turn? - Spend My Savings On Life Or Buy A Home & Be Responsible?

    Well there are 90k apartments around but not in the best of locations. To me the location is priority. In any case, I could probably have a down payment of 30% as 50% would wipe my account. Yeh, I see what you are saying. If I did decide to go down this "responsible" path it would be totally...

    Down and out... a warning.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Dude I feel what you are going through. I am actually going through similar thoughts myself and have had a lot of positive help from members of this forum. You are so right about wasting time and giving up. I was actually hanging on a thread before posting to FLF. I needed some direction and a...

    Thanks for your thoughts Aaron. I am sorry to read about your dad, it must be a tough time for you right now. I have had a few people mention that making a big decision would not be a good idea for me right now. I do agree with this but I also know what I am like...meaning that I need to do...

    Where To Turn? - Spend My Savings On Life Or Buy A Home & Be Responsible?

    Thank you for your kind words and thoughts on this. I hadn't thought that maybe this is some sort of grieving process for me. You may be right because I do have moments when I think of my dad laying there in his bed alone at night and I get very strong feelings of sadness and guilt for his pain...

    Where To Turn? - Spend My Savings On Life Or Buy A Home & Be Responsible?

    Thank you so much! That last sentence brought tears to my eyes...in a good way. Right now my dad is the one who is doing the suffering, (as well as my elderly mum who has to look after him full-time when she should be relaxing). I am overwhelmed with guilt sometimes as I am not suffering from...

    Where To Turn? - Spend My Savings On Life Or Buy A Home & Be Responsible?

    Thank you for your reply and kind words. I am involved with non-fiction books rather than fiction. Unfortunately I am not a good fiction writer; I tried it and it is not for me. So earnings are not as big as say a fiction writer may be who has published a similar amount of books as myself. The...

    Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. I am sorry to read about the stresses and strains you have been through over the past year or so. You are right that I should not allow any kind of depression take hold of me. I do suffer from Depression but over the years I have learned...

    Where To Turn? - Spend My Savings On Life Or Buy A Home & Be Responsible?

    Thank you Phikey for this detailed advice. You are correct that I need to break things down...I just let everything get on top of me and became overwhelmed; paralyzed. I had no idea there were companies that provided accountability partners. This is certainly something I can look into as soon...
