I was a bit surprised to see my bank account debited twice by the tax collector. Luckily, they immediately reimbursed the excess. The whole confusion was my fault.

Too much food wasted! I tried to empty the fridge meaning throwing leftovers away. I cannot eat twice food that I ate. That is a very bad habit of mine. It is so much cheaper to buy enormous portion of food that I will never eat :(.

Since the story about the “arranged” wedding, I noticed that there were at least 3 “arranged” weddings in the building and 3 “recomposed” families (kids from previous marriages). The kids are quite normal besides the “fat” kid. Compared to the two brothers who came politely asking for help with their broken computer, I do not like much […]

At 45 years old! It seems like an impossible dream but if you think hard about it maybe there is a way! When everyone else is thinking about their burdensome retirement, I am trying to make it happen as early as possible. Unlike many people around me, I noticed that I do not work much in […]
