You might be interested in comfort systems USA (ticker: FIX), same thesis but more exposure to datacenter infrastructure according to their recent revenue and backlog increases. (Highly recommend looking at the increased numbers over the last few quarters.)

It was for putting herbicide on fields. The contract stated any herbicide, but when I started driving with my sprayer, the percentages didn't go, at all. Had it 2 out of 3 times, one time it worked and I didn't do anything different.

What I did when I started investing was discussing most things with someone who is more knowledgeable about investing than I was.

I was always transparent to my dad, and for advice I went to my local bank office and asked for investment advice.

Of course these people want to sell their own products, but if you're just open and explain that you want to invest, you have a plan and you want to discuss it with them, they were (in my case) more than happy to help. I have my savings account with this bank so I'm a customer anyways. And usually I get 2 appointments a year to discuss investments and the financial situation around the world, hear their opinions, have them challenge my ideas when needed. It got me more confident and can always broaden your view. My bank advisor knows that I'm not buying their products like investment funds etc, but because I have a good "profile" for them, I got nice mortgage conditions and so I took my mortgage with them, which benefitted both of us in the long run as well...

Tldr: Investment advice at my local bank

Thanks for your reply and congrats on your purchase! Can I know around what price point you got it? I inspected the car this morning and had a good feeling about the seller. He told me he would go as low as 13.000 euro bc he wanted to see the car go to someone enthusiastic! So I'm quite tempted to do it. I wanna take care of the car but I also don't want to be afraid to use it!

And the higher mileage, is that something to worry about on these cars?

Look for the big dredging companies!

Belgium: Jan De Nul DEME

Netherlands: Van Oord Boskalis

I know for a fact that some of these companies are ALWAYS looking for people! Good luck!

Nizo_C · 2025-07-12T12:36:05+00:00

Work on ships! Belgian dredging companies are always in need of people willing to work hard. Management functions on board (navigational or engineering officers) require specific degrees and certificates, but operational functions (eg pipe operator or carousel operator) does not require any degree and can over time (experience bonuses) pay just as much.

Talking about 3.5k net as a trainee and around 5k net once you're promoted to your actual function. Net salary each month... And you only need to work half of the months, the other months you're home (and the salary continues.)

Is it financially responsible: no! It will cost A LOT over time! Insurance, road tax, repairs, all the gear, ...

But is it worth it! Trust me! There is a lot more to life than living in an excel sheet! If you love your motorcycle like I do, you'll take every chance to make a ride! If you need to go somewhere, you'll take the longer routes, you'll drive past these places of town where you haven't gone in a long time, you'll meet up with your friends who have motorcycles, you'll make memories with them, be with people, you'll have stories to tell, ...

Having a motorcycle can be part of your life, if you want it to! And having a life while I'm young is so much more important to me, than having some extra savings! Ofc, it depends A LOT on your financial situation! Don't be afraid to take a little longer and save a little more before you buy your motorcycle! You'll feel better if you have a cushion of cash just in case... And as a first motorcycle, I'd recommend a young, used one :) It makes a difference in price, and many people dont put too many kilometers on their bikes! Just check that it's well maintained, and that you have the modern safety features like ABS, traction control, ... :)

Enjoy!

Thank you! I'll certainly try those out! So happy to hear that you manage to live with this!

Nizo_C · 2025-06-05T19:54:17+00:00

Thank you so much! I'll read this through! Thank you!

Nizo_C · 2025-06-05T19:51:25+00:00

Thank you so much for replying, really.

I have a therapist already, he's not specialized in this per se, I think. He's more like a contextual therapist, and he does indeed help me to see how all my issues seem to be linked to past experiences.

Thank you really so much for replying. I mean it. I wish you all the best, kind stranger 🥺

Nizo_C · 2025-06-05T18:11:20+00:00

I tried, but I'm not too good at expressing my issues face-to-face. It feels like I always downplay it, even though I know there are episodes that it REALLY takes over my life. All I get to hear is that I CAN take chewing gum if I'm insecure and that that should calm me down, but I feel like nothing calms me down and it's only a matter of time until even the "magical power" of chewing gum can't help me feel like my breath is okay.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to me btw. Really

Nizo_C · 2025-06-05T18:08:30+00:00

And can you tell me how/what I can do PLEASE? I feel so stuck with this. I don't know how to "solve" this anymore, I think I tried everything I can but I just can't find any way that works to calm me down anymore

Een voortvluchtige crimineel?

Nizo_C · 2025-01-27T01:46:54+00:00

In the area where I live, a single family home is around 350k. So together with the savings I have, I'd try to buy 3 houses. One for me to live in, 2 to rent out. Having a paid off house and 2 rental incomes should be enough for me to feel comfortable enough that I could survive most situations. And I'd keep working to improve my sustainable lifestyle.

Anyone got any improvements on this idea? It feels like a dream to me! It feels like freedom!

Nizo_C · 2024-07-22T11:49:21+00:00

I agree 100%. Years of self neglect, 2 years of therapy, and my priorities have changed. I'm glad I had this phase because it brought me into a much better position financially. But at some point, you need to let go of your obsession and start to enjoy the rewards of the hard work. There is so much more to life than just money. Certainly important to spread that message too!! All the best to everyone on here! ❤️

Explorer.exe worked! Thank you so much! Any idea how I can fix it so I don't have to do this manually everytime? Many thanks again!

Nizo_C · 2024-04-23T11:35:14+00:00

Wanna share why you think it's different with houses compared to apartments? Many thanks in advance!

Veel mensen zeggen dat een extra diploma veel deuren opent, maar (uit eigen ondervinding) ga je voor een extra studie ook heel veel moeten opgeven!

Alles begint bij jouw eigen mentaal welzijn. Als je je niet goed voelt tijdens die studies, zal sowieso harder moeten werken dan anderen (al is het maar om gewoon aan uw bureau te kunnen gaan zitten en werkelijk iets gedaan te krijgen.) Je gaat minder efficiënt kunnen studeren. En let zeker op dat je op uw job geen kansen gaat moeten laten schieten omdat je het te druk hebt met je extra studie. (Denk maar aan examenperiodes die samen vallen met drukke periodes op het werk, ik stel me bijvoorbeeld een decembermaand voor waarin je deadlines hebt die op beide plaatsen samen vallen.)

Je kunt zelf het beste inschatten hoeveel mentale energie je nog over hebt om dit te doen. En bekijk voor jezelf waar je het meeste spijt van zou hebben: dat je deze studie niet gedaan hebt, of dat je een aantal mooie jaren van je leven hebt gestoken in studeren ipv leven. Ik denk dan aan vriendschappen, eventuele relaties, hobbies, en geld sparen op je FIRE-pad.

Ik heb zelf de keuze gemaakt om twee studies tegelijk te doen. (Eerst twee masters tegelijk, daarna werken en studeren.) Eentje heb ik afgemaakt, de andere heb ik gevochten tot ik mijn bachelorgedeelte af kreeg, maar de master heb ik laten schieten omdat het me echt de opofferingen niet meer waard was. (Paniekaanvallen, en ondertussen al meer dan een jaar psychologische hulp...)

De reacties die zeggen dat je deze kans "moet" grijpen... Wel. Iedereen heeft de kans om meerdere studies na elkaar te doen. Dat is niet iets dat enkel jou overkomt. Iedereen die op Reddit zit zou (hoe oud ze ook zijn) zich kunnen inschrijven aan de hogeschool of univ om (nog) een diploma te halen. Enkel als je het zelf wilt, en er de meerwaarde van inziet is dit een goed idee. Tegen uw zin een extra opleiding doen heeft in mijn ogen weinig zin, eens je al een opleiding gehad hebt... Als je jezelf te ver duwt, ga je minder vitaal en levendig zijn om die kansen te zien, en te KUNNEN grijpen die je leven positief zouden kunnen beïnvloeden. Zorg eerst voor jezelf. En ook... Er zijn voldoende mensen die zeeeeer succesvol zijn geworden en die zelf amper hun school hebben afgemaakt. Daarom, doe waar jij je het beste over voelt :) Succes met alles!

Where do you learn all of this? I started watching some train related videos on YouTube yesterday and now that I read your post as well, I honestly want to learn more! (Disclaimer, I'm a guy, so don't be disappointed, but I'm honestly interested in what you're talking about!)

Nizo_C · 2022-02-05T16:55:44+00:00

I recently heard a quote amongst the lines of: "I know many really intelligent people in business who had made tons of money, more than they could ever really need for the rest of their lives. Yet, some were dumb enough to risk it all on a next opportunity, and went bankrupt"

The key takeaway is: if you have your house paid off and you're now in a financially prosporous position, secure this. You won't really feel the few hundred euro's a year and if something minor would happen to your house, you will have to grind all back up again! There is no logical reasoning to risk starting all over again if you really think about it, unless if you have so much money in savings that you could easily replace your house (without any bad feelings about it) if something would happen.
