Why bother planning?The best way to predict the future is to create it. in 2015 Katie and I headed to Ecuador to go on Chautauqua, a financial independence retreat. We were desperately trying to work out how to invest and whether to invest in pensions or not. At the event we met the Mad Fientist who sat down with us and helped us to create our first ever financial model of our finances. This gave us the confidence we could make it to Financial Independence, which pots to invest in and helped us really get going on our journey. We have been developing that spreadsheet for the last 6 years and still come back to it every time we need to make big financial decisions.
