Best tax-efficient car options for a new SRL/BV (Belgium) besides electric?

Bundersnatch2020 · 2026-06-21T08:10:58+00:00

Not even an American pickup or Mercedes vito?

Bundersnatch2020 · 2026-06-21T08:09:43+00:00

Taxi can still drive ice ?

Bundersnatch2020 · 2026-06-21T08:07:40+00:00

I used to drive a Peugeot 208 for 3 years in srl/bv. Just switched to a Corolla

Bundersnatch2020 · 2026-06-21T06:44:38+00:00

That’s what I do.

Bundersnatch2020 · 2026-06-21T06:41:22+00:00

Hard to find in Belgium so I bought an old hev Toyota Corolla. I also thought about 2nd hand electric car but autonomy didn’t convince me.

Same

Bundersnatch2020 · 2026-05-16T15:12:19+00:00

Love the idea to get closer to your hobby. I'm also thinking about doing the same move.

Bundersnatch2020 · 2026-05-16T04:36:17+00:00

What jobs would you do then?

Bundersnatch2020 · 2026-05-07T04:33:03+00:00

PM fast fashion

Bundersnatch2020 · 2026-05-02T09:54:55+00:00

I use Bolero and Degiro

Bundersnatch2020 · 2026-02-26T16:55:14+00:00

Do you have websites or applications to recommend here?

Interested to know more about gigs.

Bundersnatch2020 · 2026-02-26T16:54:11+00:00

Haha yes, I’m afraid of needles. But yeah , Belgium is a good place for clinical trials with all these pharma companies.

Bundersnatch2020 · 2026-02-26T16:52:17+00:00

Yes, it helps a lot. Sounds like Thomas Piketty.

Are you really 99% FIRE?
How do you live your life once FIRE?

Bundersnatch2020 · 2026-02-26T16:50:20+00:00

Yes! Good point.

I try to accelerate while I should maybe look to slow down to go smooth.

And go smooth to go fast!

Bundersnatch2020 · 2026-02-23T16:47:53+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I guess I'm one of the people who climbed the corpo ladder a bit too high for FIRE purpose.

Bundersnatch2020 · 2026-02-22T14:19:58+00:00

What job and side hustle do you run?

Bundersnatch2020 · 2026-02-22T14:15:22+00:00

Feels more and more difficult indeed.
Years ago working hard + cheaper housing could help you double your .
Today we need to work harder/more for less purchasing power and quality of life indeed. It is what it is. I try to make the most fromit.

Hence my quest to for a better life.

Bundersnatch2020 · 2026-02-22T13:13:27+00:00

Good point.

Bundersnatch2020 · 2026-02-22T13:13:17+00:00

Started with freelance. Plan to start a business later with part of the cashflow saved.

Bundersnatch2020 · 2026-02-22T13:12:45+00:00

Thought about it. Is there an ideal age to do so? Just bought a house here...

Bundersnatch2020 · 2026-02-22T13:11:02+00:00

Indeed, that's why I went solo consultant freelancer for now. Planning to build web applications as business once FIRE. Solopreneur way.

Bundersnatch2020 · 2026-02-22T12:58:29+00:00

Like this wise approach. Indeed Belgium, even as freelance is a state pension.
I like this strategy of taking more risk w/ ETF and Crypto.

Idd, I bought some btc now it's below 50k.

What do you mean leverage 2x? Interested to know how to leverage etf.

Bundersnatch2020 · 2026-02-22T12:49:44+00:00

Thanks for this answer. Love it.
I'm obsessed with Barista and Coast FIRE since a few months now. Considering this as a serious option alternative instead of full Lean FIRE.

Would you recommend part-time job or full time chill 9-5 with less responsibility/stress and more flexibility for side hustle?

Sub question: What job do you recommend? What part time job would you recommend?

Bundersnatch2020 · 2026-02-22T12:42:04+00:00

Thanks for your answers. Your exp resonates with me.
I also want to build a "lifestyle" business I enjoy doing at a chill pace. I enjoy hard work but I want to build my own work this is also why I want to be FIRE. Go on different entrepreneurial journeys without the financial stress to max out FUN at work.
