    My experience with P2P lending

    INVESTING 
    Hi there, I still think Mintos is one of the better p2p platforms. I am still exited because with the current covid crisis I still believe there is an increased risk which is postponed with all the government handouts etc. I do not have any better passive options other than ETF's at this moment.

    My experience with P2P lending

    INVESTING 
    Hi Duck, Sorry for the extreme late reply, never noticed the thread received a further reply. My views have not so much changed regarding the platform. Because mintos is only a platform, and you should think more about what you invest in via the platform. My personal preference was always...

    Money mindset

    MINDSET 
    Found this TED talk which rings a lot of fastlane/unscripted bells. Worth a watch for why not to follow your passion, why to chase value and not money and an example of a balanced money mindset.

    Describe your first sale as an entrepreneur!

    EXECUTION NOTABLE! 
    Cool topic :smile: My story goes like this: One of the first things I remembered selling was spindles of empty dvd´s on which you could burn files. I wanted a set, but it was cheaper to buy in bulk. I went around on school asking fellow scholars if they also wanted to buy a spindle because it...

    I will propose March the third. I made a slight error in the room. Many Meeting rooms are closed during the weekend. I found a small one for 6 people located between central station and the river Maas. But it would also need exactly 6 people to break even. We would have 3 hours for...

    My experience with P2P lending

    INVESTING 
    I fully agree with you about not spending all your time to get a few extra bucks. I myself only check my account about once a month and let auto invest do the rest. I have invested time initially to set the parameters but it has been working on itself for quite some time now. And as for the...

    My experience with P2P lending

    INVESTING 
    Reading some of the negative comments on here about P2P investing, I thought I would share my positive experience to show it is not all doom. If you wish to give P2P lending a try on the platform that I use (www.mintos.com). There is currently a 1% affiliate bonus on the platform for the person...

    EXECUTION 
    I'm loving this thread and your progress. CNC mills are not that expensive to purchase. But everything around it is what makes it so capital intensive. I have made my own CNC mills by converting manual mills. It's a great way to get a good machine and do prototyping and small (initial)...

    I have been designing, producing and selling my own products and tooling for about 7 years now. This has all been lowish volume production. For mass production I quickly opt to go off shore. The chinese have come a very long way and are quite capable. For me the perfect combination is having...

    How to buy a house

    REAL ESTATE 
    Maybe talk to some mortgage providers or brokers? I know someone who earns about twice what you earn and his maximum available mortgage was less than the 800k you need. Things may be a bit better now the interest rate is even lower. But with an income heavily depending on performance and other...

    I was planning to just drive up to aachen, or cologne and drive back in the evening. I think the meet up should be fun and educational which can surely be done. I also won't be able to go to phantasialand without the mrs because she would kill me if I go without her. Perhaps we should scrap the...
