The two of them live in a 30 square meter one-room apartment in Bamberg, Franconia. This saves them a lot of money on rent. "I'm Swabian." Her husband is Dutch. "We are both catastrophically frugal." The couple got rid of most of their belongings when they last moved. "It was incredibly difficult for us to clear out," says Maren. But they are now saving €5,700 a year compared to their last apartment. The goal: to generate wealth as quickly as possible that will allow both of them to retire as early as possible. Or to live their dream and be able to work as digital nomads from anywhere in the world. However, their new everyday life also brings difficulties. Both Maren and Joost have changed jobs and now work from home. While Joost serves customers by phone from the kitchen counter, Maren takes the leap into self-employment at the dining table next door. As an online coach, she wants to offer minimalism and finance courses for women. To ensure that nothing goes wrong, she invests a lot of time and previously laboriously saved money in the preparation. Working in a confined space tests the patience of both of them. Nevertheless, they manage to find compromises to fulfill their shared dream of financial freedom. ???? Did you like this video? Give us a like! Even more 37 degrees: ????
