Finding joy on the journey to financial independence
As the end of another year draws near, I find myself doing what I always do around this time: reflecting. Reflecting on all that I’ve learned this year. Reflecting on the goals I’ve achieved, the places I’ve fallen short, all the activities I did or didn’t do. In this spirit of reflection, I’ve been thinking … Continue reading “The Best (Financial) Decisions I’ve Ever Made”
I hope all my U.S. readers had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday, no matter where you were, who you were with, or what you ate 🙂 I had planned to publish this post the day after Thanksgiving, on my usual Friday posting day, but instead I decided not to rush it or to worry about it … Continue reading “How Do We Know What’s Important?”
Here we are, already half-way through November. We are getting close to the end of 2023, my friends! Pretty soon, it will be time to do some year-end reflection and goal-setting for 2024. Before that though, we still have to close out 2023. At the beginning of this year, I decided to switch up the … Continue reading “Why I Changed My Money Check-In Strategy”
For the longest time, change scared the crap out of me. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still a work in progress. I still have to actively talk myself down sometimes from freaking out when change is looming or imminent. But over time, I’ve gotten better at accepting change.

Well, my friends, I was going to publish this post last Friday, getting back to my regularly scheduled weekly blog post. But alas, life had other plans.

How poetic that the week I was going to publish a post about … Continue reading “Maintaining Your Health On The Way To Financial Independence”

This week marked 3 months at my new job! I’d love to say that the time has flown, but it hasn’t really… Today I’m sharing how things have been going, and what I’m learning about my financial independence (FI) journey along the way.
