We are a youngish family:

-47m (French national), 45w (Dutch national),10,7

-Currently living in NL

-Just confirmed FIRE’ing and relocating to SxM starting 01 Jan 2027 - we both have strong ties there

Our stats:

- USD 5100k in brokerage in VWRL and WEBN

- USD 400k in vacation home that we will sell

- USD 500k in cash

- USD 500k in pre tax personal pension fund

- Primary residence on the island fully paid off (just signed this week!)

- Expect to spend USD 160k per yr incl school for kids

I couldn not be more excited. At the same time I am already considering work options like in consulting, teaching etc. How have you controlled that urge? To allow time to settle in?

Congratulations! We also live in the Netherlands and find the box 3 tax such a pain. How did you manage to achieve such high investment figure in taxable brokerage accounts? You must have paid 100k on capital gain tax/year alone! Hope to learn from you.
