RE: One Hundred Thousand Dollars

in #money7 years ago

We decided to invest in our house. Money invested now, will reduce the cost and some investments even ensure a daily passive income (solar panels).
For the rest we are living a good life, trying to save some money here and there. Investing in Crypto hopefully will make things a little bit easier. Everybody has to make choices.
But I do think that what you did is a great achievement but don't forget to life. It could be over before it started!

Sort:  

You live in an area where you can sell solar back, nice! The local electric company pulled some muscle and got that stopped where I live.

The argument 'to live life now' is what my wife fights me on. I am of the mindset to hunker down and get it all out of the way now so that my future is wide open and free. She wants to spend a lot more and is fine working longer to do so.

Which is why I tell her we are going to swap once I retire - she can go work and I will watch the kids. Then she can spend all her efforts working and then use that money for all the things she always wants me to do.

But don't think we just sit in the dark like frugal misers. We do plenty of stuff that is inexpensive as well as big trips once or twice a year - more than most people I would think! Every year is a trip back to England, as well as a lesser trip in the USA.

I wasn’t imagining that you guys were sitting in the dark only carving wood sticks 😎
The elec company does not pay us directly but when we are supplying elec to the network our meters runs backwards. But I can’t become negative.
The government is also weet enough cause they do pay us €250 per1000 kwh. A good year delivers 3000 kwh
