Hi all 
Maybe I shouldn't write designer in the title of my thread. I don't want it to define me. But it sounded better than just man
My name is Matt. I am a Polish designer who has lived in several European countries (Netherlands, Germany, and now Norway).
I'm 34 years old, I live at a level above the average of Western Europe (90k), but it certainly doesn't allow for retirement.
I have maybe $150,000 set aside through Slowlane. It's not a tragedy, but I'm certainly not going to get my dream house with a garden and a nice view without taking out a loan for 30 years. Not to mention a car. It has always amazed me that people spend two years of their savings on a car. I believe I can't afford a car if I can't save for it in 3-6 months.
For the last 10+ years I've been climbing the slowlane ladders until I get to the point where I feel I'm close to the ceiling. Norway is a slowlane in a golden cage to say the least, but still people here have everything on credit and consider it normal.
I have the feeling that I want to break through the ceiling and finally get out onto the roof where there is no ceiling at all, and when you think about it, all we have above us is the infinite universe (which, by the way, is constantly expanding!).
I have quite a few interests, from design, software, nature or psychology to AI, infographics or spirituality.
I am very happy to join a forum with people with a growth mindset
