What is success?

27/1/2023

 
There seems to be a measure in western society that we are all trying to live up to.  An unseen, unagreed to yard stick that we are measured against. 

Do you have a degree?  Do you have a nice car?  Do you own your own home?  Do you have pets?  Do you have kids and are married? These are the questions society (people around us) ask to find out if we are succesful.

Alan in a suit? Does this mean he is succesful? Intelligent? Heaven forbid respectable??
They want to know what school (university) you went to, what car you drive, where you live?  Then last one really defines you.  Which neighbourhood, which town and what location tells us everything we need to know about you.  Do you live on the right side of the tracks, do you live in the nice side of town?

Do you measure up to societies description of success or sometimes do you feel like you don't fit in?  Don't measure up?

There are things I take for granted now that I didn't even know existed when I was younger let alone even thought they were possible for me to achieve!  
Alan Donegan
Alan didn't even know it was possible!
Even now at 44 there is SO much that I know I don't know about, let alone the stuff I don't know I don't know! 

​How do you know what exists, how do you know what is possible for you and how do you get comfortable having a go?

9/1/2023

 
Financial independence (FI) seems like a far off lofty goal at times.  Especially if you are struggling to make ends meet, bring in money or just survive.  However, the fundamentals of financial independence are super simple.  There are three main levers for you to pull.  All the experts out there debate endlessly about how to pull them, when to pull them and why to pull them!
Picture
This article is designed to make financial independence as simple as possible (not easy; simple) so that you know what to do next - which lever to pull and how to make progress.
