Welcome to No More Waffles! I’m honoured to have you since that shows you have an interest in financial independence.
Here at No More Waffles, we believe that everyone should be able to live their lives the way they prefer to, on their own terms and in their own time.
My mission is to uncover, explore and share insights that allow you to build a happy and wealthy life through financial independence. I want to show that saving and investing leads to the ultimate freedom to do with your time as you wish.
Nomorewaffles.com has been around since 2014 and was one of the first European financial independence and early retirement (FIRE) blogs. The European, and to be more specific Belgian, perspective has remained one of the core tenets of the website. Wondering why the website is called No More Waffles? Be sure to check out my about page.
