We’ve been married going on 23 of the best years of my life. We’re childless and have lived in Europe for the past 8 years. 7 in Germany and going on 2 in Madrid Spain. Like everyone else we’ve made good decisions and bad decisions. The Wife often says that the best decisions we ever made was to get married. Our worse decisions were always financial. This blog is about our journey to change that.
Hi Rob,
I read your post about your 80-year old dad investing exclusively in dividend-paying stocks. I’m very interested in how he did it. Do you mind if I prepare a few questions for him? Another idea is that you can write a post about him, and I’m more than happy to send some readers to your blog.
Regards,
Financial Jungle

>>”My Dad is almost 80 and is 100% invested in equities and always has been. The main difference is his is investing for dividends and not for capital gains, so the fact that the banks declined 25% this year doens’t matter to him. Actually on his DRIP stocks where he is reinvesting his dividends it actually helps. “
Hi Rob, i recently came across a thread, where you are looking into how to pay “autonomo” taxes in spain, i am currently in the same situation, and would really appreciate any information you have since learned!
many thanks, for any advice…
