This is again not the post I wanted to publish next. It seems I make a habit out of this. Not sure if I can produce anything of value anymore. At least not now. Not in the current situation. Not in my current state of mind. This post will be a burst out of my swirling thoughts. I think I need this to lessen the pressure inside. To prevent an explosion. So don’t expect anything more structured or sophisticated than…
Hello again, everyone. These are busy times in this corner of the interwebz. Today I can happily inform you that a couple of weeks ago I was invited to Europes’ best Financial Independence podcast. It is a great honor, especially that this is the only podcast which I am following ever since the beginning. Needless to say, I was super anxious as this was my first occasion speaking “publicly” in English. I was lucky as Araminta is very professional, super…
Welcome back, everyone. Today I will present you a long-awaited interview episode with no other than the creator of words, the trash talker, the opus writer, the incredible Mr. Groovy. Enjoy! Tell us about yourself! Hello. I’m a blogger who primarily blogs about personal finance. My website is Freedom Is Groovy. My wife and I started the blog in August of 2015 and we go by the monikers Mrs. Groovy and Mr. Groovy, respectively. We haven’t revealed our true identities…
Hello Everyone! Today I am shooting just a short notification towards you that this week I was the lucky guy who got featured on FIREHub.eu in the latest episode of their Bloggers on FIRE series. You should definitely check out as the questions forced me to think about some aspects of the FI journey which I don’t do often. And of course, I highly recommend checking out the older episodes also 😉 Have a nice weekend and stay tuned as…
Welcome back geeky FIRE seekers. The Coders of Finance series returns for 2019 and we kick off the year with Marc from VitalDollar.com. I just realized browsing the previous episodes that despite we are all coders how different our paths, visions, mindsets, and skillsets are. Marc just raises this diversity further. His way of running his business is truly inspiring and his achievements aren’t small wins in my opinion. So, Marc please take it over. Tell us about yourself! My name…
Yes, dear reader, you have read it right. That’s my question. As many of you know, despite I live in Serbia I am a Hungarian guy and count Hungary as my homeland too. Thus, every sometimes, when I cheat on my low information diet I follow the news over there. Last week the Hungarian prime minister revealed a radical family support package as part of their action plan to prevent the demographic decrease. I am not really involved in politics and…
I cannot resist kicking off this post and this year with a quote. “So many books, so little time.” ― Frank Zappa This little quote sums up pretty much my recent years. I love reading books but I have to admit that in the past two years I consumed written content mostly in form of blog posts. I am not a fan of new years resolutions so the decision that in 2019 I want to read more actual books is more…
Howdy fellas! Long time no see. As anyone can tell, this second half of the year wasn’t my most productive period in terms of blogging and otherwise. Don’t get me wrong, I am not apologizing and have no regrets. Many times I exchanged “blogging time” for simply hanging out with my wife or playing late with my daughters. Life is about priorities and we all have the same scarce resource of time which we decide where to invest. After all,…
Welcome back geeky FIRE seekers. A long time has passed since the last episode of this series. Some folks even asked me if it is over. The truth is that this series takes place in a special corner of my heart and I don’t really plan on killing it before I stop blogging, so please calm down. Today I brought you another fellow European and London based blogger who shied away so far from talking about the topic of programming in…
We are already done with the triduum of Halloween, All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day. While the Halloween part got more and more popularity at our ends only in recent years the other two days were always the occasion for us to visit the graves of our loved ones. This melancholic time of the year is perfect for remembering and reflection. As the weather turns colder, the days darker, and nature slowly slips into its hibernated state our thoughts…
