Today I see two transactions from the kiosk in my online banking. The lower of the two bookings for €14.20 looks legitimate. Since I paid with Apple Pay, the transaction also appears in the Wallet app. Unfortunately I no longer have the receipt, but I do have the beer

What is one year of my life actually worth?

Sorry, this will be a bit long: I, M44, am currently somewhere between Coast and Leanfire. As a result, I'm slowly having to seriously ask myself how much money I actually want to earn. If I just continued working full-time, conservatively I'd be in the Chubby FIRE range by the time I retired, but I don't actually need that much and the work is often quite annoying. [Here is the rough situation, if anyone is interested (otherwise please use this one

63 Million Barrels Of Crude Stuck At Sea As U.S. Pulls Iran Sanction Waiver

Iran was struggling to sell its crude to buyers in Asia outside China even before the U.S. rescinded overnight the sanctions waiver that allowed Tehran to sell its oil without penalties. The Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday prompted immediate U.S. reaction with the U.S military striking multiple targets in Iran and the Treasury canceling the waiver on Iran’s oil sales that was supposed to be in place until August 21. Iran’s oil sales could be constra

How would you live a "boring" life for a few months to build up savings?

Half of 2026 has passed, and apart from some necessary extra expenses, I feel that there has been quite some lifestyle inflation for me that has resulted in me growing my savings by only about 1500€ over these 6 months. And more than 500 of it came from stocks growing anyway. Not only have I taken (past and upcoming in August) about 25 days of holidays in total, I have also splurged a bit on experiences and nice things, apart from going out etc. After my holiday in August, I'd like to return to
