📢 Welcome to our next Lux Finance Circle meetup!
Everyone has a number. A savings target. An amount that would mean they never have to worry about money again. The problem is, almost nobody actually knows what their number is.
Most people invest without a clear target. They contribute to their brokerage account, pick some ETFs, and hope it works out. But hope is not a strategy. Without knowing how much is enough, you can't know if you're saving too little, taking too much risk, or even if you're on track at all.
This session is an open discussion about the math behind financial independence. Not the Instagram version. The real version: how to calculate what you actually need, what assumptions go into that calculation, and what most people get wrong usually, by throwing numbers around.

🧭 Format of the Event
This is a casual, discussion-based gathering with no long presentations. We'll sit around the table, and your host Romain will kick things off with a short introduction covering:

• Why "save as much as you can" is not a real plan
• The key variables that determine whether you'll reach financial independence (and which ones you can actually control)
• How small changes in your assumptions can dramatically shift your timeline
• The most common mistakes people make when projecting their financial future

From there, we open the floor for discussion. Bring your questions, your assumptions, and your curiosity.
Recommended Preparation
Before the event, think about this: if someone asked you today "how much money do you need to never worry about money again?", could you give a confident answer? And if so, how did you arrive at that number?

👥 Who Can Join?
Everyone is welcome. This discussion will be especially valuable if you are:

• An investor who contributes regularly but has never calculated a concrete target for financial independence.
• Someone who has used online calculators or rules of thumb (like "25x your expenses") but isn't sure those numbers apply to your situation in Luxembourg.
• A professional who wants to move from "I hope this is enough" to "I know exactly where I stand."
