The community here at Financial Independence Europe have at least one thing in common: we are all striving for financial freedom. Sometimes, the FIRE movement can feel limiting on your lifestyle and your pockets, with a focus on reducing expenses. But it doesn’t have to be. Creating additional income through side hustles is a great way to expand your lifestyle and financial goals. In fact, it means that you can strive towards financial independence while inflating your costs and...

Did you know that 1 in 4 millennials are aiming to retire early in Europe? That’s a huge chunk of our workforce! But it’s incredibly difficult to chase early retirement without either a huge inheritance, or a six-figure salary. Contrary to what traditional media might have you believe, you don’t need to be earning top dollar in order to shave off a decade or two of your working life. In fact, financial independence is becoming more available than ever. So...

The post How to Retire Early in Europe appeared first on Financial Independence Europe.
Are you worried about the risks of the stock market? It’s true that while some of us can be wildly successful, others suffer huge losses when investing in stocks and shares. Therefore, we talk about diversification. This is the process of spreading your investment across different asset classes in order to reduce the systematic risk associated with your portfolio. For example, those who diversified their asset allocation before 2020 would have avoided some of the big losses associated with the...

We’ve all been there. You’ve scanned over your annual expenses, debt and taken a look at financial goals. You’ve got children to look after and big purchases coming up. The FIRE calculator just isn’t showing you the right figures and early retirement seems impossible. You’re right, it is difficult to retire early in Europe. But it’s not impossible.

The post Early Retirement is unrealistic in Europe: here’s why appeared first on Financial Independence Europe.
Do you care about where your money is going? Does your investment portfolio align with your interests? Balance the risk of investing by spreading your resources across a number of different opportunities. It’s called asset class allocation. For example, you might invest capital as cash, into real estate or an etf. This strategy is one way to protect your hard-earned cash against market disruptions or corrections. However, some investors take it a step further with impact investing. In fact, 75%...

The post Episode 144 – Bitcoin basics 2: Bitcoin basics and tools to get started | David appeared first on Financial Independence Europe.
Hi Fi Europeans,
today I talk with David, a member of our community about cryptocurrencies and in particular Bitcoin. While you might not want to employ crypto to achieve your financial independence goals as it’s harder to predict the result compared with a diversified ETF-Portfolio. Some people already made a small fortune with their early crypto adoption and knocking at the doors of family offices asking for help to preserve their new wealth and transition to a more conservative and diversified approach.
This is the first part of two episodes that is focusing more on what money is and how banks work with our money, how inflation works and it affects our Financial Independence plans. We think it’s important to understand the impact of the new types of money that currently emerge.
There is a complimentary guide for this episode made by David. Check it out.
We talk
- History and forms of money
- Inflation
- How the money system works nowadays
- Attributes of money
- House of money
- Central Banks
- Europe & Dollar

Hi FI Europeans,
today I had the pleasure to interview Martins Sulte who is the founder and CEO of Mintos. It’s the biggest P2P Lending marketplace in Europe and they started in 2015 and are headquartered in Riga.
On mintos platform, there are currently around 50 companies that lend out loans in 12 currencies to borrowers in 38 countries worldwide. More than 40k investors fund loans in 9 loan segments. Like car loans, property, agriculture, small business, consumer loans and so forth…
In this episode, we talk about how Martins experienced and managed the first real economic crisis due to Covid19 and we discuss how the industry will evolve going forward e.g. with regulation.
We also cover how the Financial Independence Community can leverage P2P, what asset classes Martins invests in and if Crypto and Sustainable Financial is a thing for mintos going forward.
