  • If you don’t look into electricity costs, it is a great idea. I had an old 100L fridge, when I looked into it, it consumed more power then my new 360L one. I sold it for some beer money. If I ever need a second fridge it will literally be cheaper to buy a new one after 5 years of power bills.


  • Liebherr makes fridges with 10 years of warranty for about 20% more than cheap brands. Super happy with mine. Nice features and efficiency too.

    BSH is also supposed to build good appliances. Our old dishwasher from Neff was 20+ years old when we sold our apartment and you could still find manuals and replacement parts on the official website. A heat exchanger, a huge and complex part was like 100€. Fridge too: a drawer broke and we bought a replacement for around 15€.

    In the US they are sold under the Bosch brand AFAIK.






  • This is true. If you are not interviewing at least one a quarter (even if you’re happy at your current job) you are doing yourself a disservice. It is a skill in itself that needs to be trained and kept current. As a side effect you might get offers and jobs you didn’t even know existed.

    I switched jobs twice in the last 10 years and as a result at least doublingy salary, without ever feeling the need to switch, just to keep interviewing as “seeing what’s out there”.

    Also allows you to reject jobs by asking for ridiculous amounts of money, sometimes failing successfully.
