The FIRE

Hi, I’m Nick!

I’m working towards becoming financially independent – while still living as “normal” a life as possible.

You can follow my progress towards financial freedom and early retirement here.

My Total Balance Progress

My Total Balance goal is €400.000 (for now...).

€102.133 / €400.000 (25,53%) 25%
What's yours?
