Friday or Monday allow us to plan better for longer activities. 3 days makes a weekend trip super smooth and easy to pull off. Having Wednesday off, I would find it harder to disconnect.

I think a lot of us have a good feeling about early/first employer. But I am not sure we would feel the same if we started that job today. "It was better back in the days" mentality.

Say doctor gave you 4 more weeks to live. You can now chose to be on life support for 2 more year at the cost of pooping pants and being on drugs. I bet, life support does not sound so bad.

Lower your expenses. Move cheaper. Be more basic Say you can live on 40% of your current salary. Join a startup or smaller company for a smaller salary. Perhaps you can even work 3 days a week? Spend the other 2 in passion projects. I recen

This is so foreign to me, living in Europe. The salary here is in my experience based on where the company is located. Big city, big salary.

My company profits millions a year and I can barely get a new keyboard as a top SW developer :) While working for a small startup of 5, I had very nice equipment.

Minimum number of weeks in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland is 5 weeks. Many employers are offering 6-8 as a perk. Since salaries are gutted by tax, other ways to compensate are used.

The hardest part in Europe is that after a certain income bracket, your finances barely change.

In Europe (and I think most of the world) you are taxed from the location you are "living". Often this can be bypassed for a while (6-12 months). While you may have 50% income tax in Netherlands. The cost of living may balance tha

"Better for knees" I am not sure that is correct? Running I understand, but on a bike, your knees are in less of a stress than even standing still. "Not going to get robbed" In Europe this is not an issue to be honest.

A big issue is infrastructure, which leads to frustration. In many places in Europe, dedicated bike roads are built. Red lights are also much less used and often replaced with roundabouts. If streets are built for a co existence, there is n
