Along with causing emotional and financial upset, divorce can also have an enormous effect on retirement savings. That’s especially true if, within the marriage, there was a significant earnings imbalance. For example, if one spouse earned substantially more than the other, or one spouse took time out of the workforce to raise children. While you’re going through the divorce process, retirement might be the last thing on your mind. But the decisions you make now […]

Surprise! Fritz here.  I know I said I was retiring from full-time blogging, but we’ve just started a two-month home expansion project (a 700 sq ft addition), and our house is a construction zone.  My treehouse writing studio is an oasis from the chaos, so I’ve had some time to write.  Here’s what our front hallway looks like at the moment (you can see why I’m hiding writing in my studio): PS: You can watch […]

Who knew my sparkle bomb of an idea (sharing my own thoughts on retirement on this blog) would, well, set off so many sparkles! Thank you for the warm welcome in the comments. I look forward to continuing the journey with all of you. As I said in our initial post, I want to share how my personal thoughts on […]

Life has been too much fun and entertaining lately (the blog post “How to Un-FIRE yourself – Canada Edition” is still pending), hence we almost forgot to plan a small FIRE meetup. But after a quick call with Mrs Hoefnix and some feedback in a Slack FIRE group this weekend, there is an update! Here are the details for the upcoming June 2025 Fire Meetup! Also, keep your agenda open on November 15th, 2025. We (me and Mrs Hoefnix) are planning a bigger gettogether with presentations and breakout sessions. Location, details and tickets/registration to be confirmed later this month! Where? Due to logistical limitations from our end, and due to lack of time to look for other venues. We had to resort to the basic option. Hence, plan is to meet yet again at the La Place in Leiderdorp! Address: Persant Snoepweg 2, 2353 KA , Leiderdorp June 2025 Fire Meetup When? Sunday June 29th, 2025 from 13:00 onwards until…. (closing time is at 20:00) What to bring? Good spirits, a desire to talk money, investing and life. Don’t forget to bring a full wallet (Going out for food and drinks is not cheap these days). How to get there? By car (free parking), by bicycle (also free parking) or by public transportation (go to Leiden Central Station and take bus 182, exit at Munnikenbrug). See also the plot below. June 2025 Fire Meetup: Location Leiderdorp Registration? No registration required, you just show up! But letting us know if you are coming by comment or email is always appreciated! If the last few meetups are any indication, we should have about 20-25 people. Which is a big enough group to have good conversations and always somebody to talk to. See you on the 29th of June!
