Hi Mustachians,

This is Erik (Mr.HdLR) from Hippies de Land Rover. A LAM family living in Switzerland. We’re a frugal family enjoying real things in life while hacking our way to FI by 2019.

We do blog at [Hippies de Land Rover](http://www.hippiesdelandrover.com/) but mainly in Spanish. We do show that as a family we can achieve FI while raising 2 kids in Switzerland. (our 2016 savings rate was 65%)

I’ll try to start our English version site to provide our financial strategy and savings/expenses tracking in English.  
I’ll keep you posted  
Cheers!

Erik

Welcome Erik!

I am looking forward to reading your financial adventures. Unfortunately I don’t speak Spanish, but if you translate your numerous articles in English, it would be very interesting! Especially how to integrate your kids in your financial framework, as I will have kids soon!

Hey Eric!  
of course we are curious on how you do FI with 2 kids in switzerland!  
maybe I can get you to put down some numbers? maybe like [this](http://forum.mustachianpost.com/t/nuggets-2016-income-statement-savings-rate/121) 🙂

I am looking forward to reading more from you!
