I feel it. Tough to talk into the void.

Something to consider...

Why I’m Chasing Financial Freedom and You Should Too Life is short, and I don’t want to miss any of it

The world is waiting.

That next bowl of ramen.

That next small fishing village.

That next plane, train, and car ride.

You’re only a decision away from financial freedom and the lifestyle you want.

I know what I’m chasing — freedom.

What are you chasing?

Very true. But great progress!

4 signs you’re doing great financially:

1. You’re investing for retirement (37% aren't)
2. You have $0 consumer debt ($23,300 is the average)
3. You have an emergency fund (56% don't have $1,000 saved)
4. You have no car payment ($740 a month is the average car payment)

How are you doing?

Engagement on Medium is even better than on any social media platform.

You should chase Coast FIRE.

No side hustle is required!

At this pace you’re going to have 24 books in 12 months. 👏🏻👏🏻🤣

#1 and #6 for most topics. #3 for learning about Medium techniques.

Wise words!

If you're in your 20’s, invest.
If you're in your 30’s, invest.
If you're in your 40’s, invest.

You can invest at any age.

It's never too late to start. Your future self will thank you.

Sometimes the best motivation comes from picturing the life you DON'T want...

Exciting! 👏👏

Love the small-steps approach. I keep feeling overwhelmed and either going full blast or shut down. I need to make a similar daily list...thanks!

My financial independence journey has morphed a lot since age 25...

I wanted to be rich.

Now I want to be free.

Agree. I must be terrible in (Twitter) life if I don’t wait up at 5am every morning to meditate, journal, and workout.

Normalize clapping for friends whose goals or dreams take off before yours.

There is plenty of opportunity to go around.

Get motivated instead of getting jealous.

The world is abundant.

Your time is coming.

Wish I’d discovered this in my 20’s not in my 40’s..

I could have retired at 40 and not when I reached 60

“Nice guys finish last.”

Huge lie.

Kindness is currency in the modern era.

Let’s all get rich in it.

You are not your work.

Your "worth" is the measure of your character not a job or title or product output.

Quality character (how you treat others + generally not being an ass) is a better measure of success.

Lifestyle Design: Forget Your Default Life and Create Your Intentional Life You’ve heard a lot about lifestyle design, but what does it actually mean?

Hopefully, you've heard of lifestyle design by now, but how does it work?

Forget your default life and create an intentional life...

Got it. Thanks!🙏🏻

Are you receiving affiliate fees from Skool? I don’t remember you charging for access to your community.

Want to change your life?

Start by auditing your current living costs … what do you need to earn each month?

Now you have a better idea where to start

I did this a few years ago my costs are now 30% of what they were and my life is 10x better

Your 5-9 doesn't have to be a hustle or starting a business.

Get a part-time job.
Deliver groceries.
Uber driver.

The important part is to make some extra money to reach your goals faster!
