I would not offer more than 50 bucks. The diff between Economy and Premium might not be much at Lufthansa.

Most of the time I don't. Only when the target country insists of travellers having one. Up to now, I also never required insurance abroad.

Regarding your dividend income. Do you manage some stocks yourself? Or all via funds? Some stocks are paying monthly dividends. I think there are already plenty of apps around where the app developer where happy to move your money from A to B. The app required access to your bank account. Your...

Hello again Lagniappe next topic - taxation. How do you pay taxes on Interests, Dividends, Capital Gains. Do you have to declare that at the end of the year, is your Portuguese Bank/Stock Broker forwarding that money to the Portuguese Tax Office? You don't own any German Stocks where you pay...

Irish AIB group reported numbers this morning and stock price jumped 4%

The worst could still be in front of us. My impression Capital concentrates around Large Cap Stocks. The bankruptcy cases among mid cap companies in Europe is clearly going up. So do profit warnings of industrial companies. Keeping zombie companies alive is not affordable anymore. When Debt is...

US NYSE GB Global Blue Group Holding - The bounce back of the stock just got started. The company benefits from re-joining Chinese holiday shoppers. DE Xetra HDD Heidelberger Druck AGM is on 26th July After 20 years of depression, the company returned to Black numbers for two years in a row...

At which Alpine mountain would you like to open up? At some places you get paid for running the show. Your dream sounds like another form of work. At your next sabbatical you could look around for something like https://www.worldpackers.com/positions/5267 for getting started in your...

I also observe that sector rotation is a time consuming research activity. Irish Banks outperformed other European Banks for about 2 years. BOI/AIB are not undervalued anymore. Probably with more volatility the ISEQ Financial performs as the STOXX Europe 600 Banks. I did not bother to research...

What is the current situation. You have a crashed laptop which does not boot? When you insert a USB Stick - you can boot Win10 from that stick? Ask around your neighborhood if you find a MCSE. He/she may find the files you are missing. If you re-installed Win10 on the crashed machine your...

For the first six months of the year I felt that people move from Crypto to US large caps, also from small caps to large caps. With money market rates of 5%. We may finally see stocks to go down. Regarding sector rotation. Within Europe, I rotate towards Greece. I believe the country learned...

I thought I am good in understanding Slang - then I saw your writing. How much do you intend to spend per month 1250, or 4250 ? A lot of countries look affordable on the Paper, once you are there, you find out - they are not. You may loose money when hoping from landlord to landlord. Rental...

I would like to thank Lagniappe for having taken the time to talk with me in person about ER in Portugal. Her proposal to meet at - El Corte Inglés Lisboa - was a great choice. Portugal is still on my list for ER. Lisbon itself is not - too hilly for my taste. Some nearby towns like Cascais or...

Asking parents/relatives for funding is something that Aristocrats are doing for 500 years. When you pay your parents/relatives 2 or 3% interest it creates a Win Win situation. Just don't ask the parents of girlfriends for funding. The challenge for you will be to find out, when is the best...

Travelling to Basel by boat from Amsterdam sounds like a good idea. I would forget the bus to Lucerne. The Swiss travel by train. Lucern - Milano: 3 hours by train Lugano - Milano: 1 hours 15 min Lugano - Rome - 5 hours by train Lugano - Naples - 7 hours by train The flight is the fastest, but...

Regarding Riester, was doing that for 2 years - don't see much value in it. Still undecided what to do with it. I stopped with contributions, also did not cancel it. The surrender value (Rückkaufswert) is pretty low. I hope that German FDP is coming up with a better solution than Riester/Rürup.

Did you withdraw any money in those years?

Hi Street Would you have a spread sheet that you can share with us.

My opinion may differ from mainstream thoughts. The return on investment of a fully diversified strategy is close to negative. By focusing on S&P500 you have a fair chance of performing better than a lot of other strategies. If your income as a retiree depends on the up and down of stock...

I think insider ownership especially additions matter a lot. When an insider purchases every 6 months it can give the signal that the stock is undervalued or that the insider believes into his own leadership talent. The price per share tends to go up. If the guys are selling the stock price...

My current cash cow is Brazilian Petrobras. Dividends are getting re-invested into risky US Small Caps in AdTech and EduTech sector like PubMatic, Peri, Digital Turbine, Udemy, Skillsoft, Coursera, TWOU. Also into other Brazilian companies like Vale or Banco do Brasil Currently I collect...

You could ask, what he expects from you? Does he want to become his own money manager - or delegate investment decision making to someone else. Is he interested in dividends - spending them on Barbecues, Drinks, etc. Not everyone wants to reinvest dividends/capital gains. An account with...

Maybe, you are able to progress from high school football to a subject with better pay checks. Given, your plan to buy a home. In a lot of countries, you don't have enough money for that. Is it an option that your parents contribute to your home buying plans? You may achieve 1.5M, but 1.5M now...

"Some say the country is now becoming crowded and more expensive, which makes it harder to move." Plenty of European Territories witness this development. Airbnb is not cheap anymore. Salaries are low, but locals cannot afford to stay in Airbnb anymore...
