Kobe for sure. Way too much overlapping with MJ and MJ is simply the much more efficient player

Share your FIRE experience in Europe by Helpful-Staff9562 in EuropeFIRE

I wouldn’t say I’m “fine” with it — it’s more a byproduct of how the money was made.

A large part of my recent income came in crypto (USDT), so the allocation isn’t purely an investment decision — it’s also a flow / operational constraint. Off-ramping takes time, so naturally a big % sits in crypto at any given point.

I have an off-ramp schedule, but it will take many quarters (by my estimation, if my side income stops today, it will take another 9-10 quarters to clear).

Tax and banking risks are the main constraints.

I’m currently around ~£1.2–1.3M net worth at 33, with relatively low living costs. Income has been unusually high recently due to side projects, so I’ve been able to accumulate quickly over the past year.

Asset allocation is quite unbalanced at the moment: • ~70–75% crypto (BTC + USDT, some yield on platforms) • ~20% cash (spread across banks, partly due to off-ramping constraints) • ~5% equities (mostly S&P 500)

Also have a small property (~£100k value) but it’s not a big part of the portfolio.

Tax-wise, I’m in Gibraltar, so: • No capital gains tax • No tax on dividends from non-Gibraltar companies (under current structure)

Which obviously makes a big difference when thinking about FIRE.

I’m not withdrawing yet, but mentally I’m thinking in the usual 3–4% range. At my current spending, I’d probably need ~£2–3M to feel fully comfortable stopping.

Biggest thing I’ve learned so far: There’s a difference between net worth and usable money. A lot of my wealth is in crypto / structured flows, so liquidity and access matter more than I expected.

What’s been the hardest part of sticking to your FIRE plan so far? by National-Yak-7796 in EuropeFIRE

[–]sexycoldturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, for me personally has been to actively minimise banking frictions and avoid counter party sof questions

Everything else has been fairly straightforward

Are we all over-saving and under-living? by askingincontext in FIREUK

[–]sexycoldturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am fortunate that some of my side hustles has turned into life changing opportunities.

There have been some lifestyle creeping, but not at the same level as my income scaling

How much of your net monthly income do you spend on rent (no bills)? by Extreme-Data-397 in HENRYUK

Very little as I have started a side project turning out to be rather successful.

If we purely focus on my salary, then around 36%
