If you added on top being in a foreign country and needing your employer for your visa, I think you'd basically have the same situation as the article?

So that's a little precarious. I hope you have some savings built up.

I'm putting all of my money into Quanloop (something like a P2P lending thingy) in hopes of growing the interest income to at least 1000€ per month.

Theoretically I should be able to reach that point in about 7 years, with the APY of ~15.6%, my goal is 80,000€.

How quickly things change... Today as I was riding to work, I got hit by a car and then to add icing on the cake, the company told me that they're not going to extend my contract...

I've got about three weeks to find an apartment or at least a room and a whole new job...
