On a journey to becoming healthier, wealthier and wiser!
One minute you’re the enthusiastic new employee starting your dream career, with ambitions to build wealth and freedom.
The next thing you know, decades have passed and you’re no closer to that big house, fancy car and exotic holidays that you thought would be the result of your hard work.
Like, what? How…? When…?
You begin to wonder what it’s all about. Surely there’s more to life than this? There is, and I’m looking for it too.
This is my journey to discovering how to become healthier, wealthier and wiser, to get the most out of life, finances notwithstanding.
Come join me!
Become healthier. Learn to be comfortable in your skin. Yes, maybe your skin isn’t as smooth or as unblemished as it used to be, but neither are your favourite walking shoes. Ever regretted wearing a sleek, new pair of shoes on a long walk, and ended up with blisters? – Me too. Still limping. Never again.
If you can love your battered shoes for their comfort, you can love yourself.
Become wealthier. Plan for a comfortable – maybe even early – retirement? And by wealthy, we don’t mean living in a mansion, sipping champagne in your infinity pool or flashing the cash. No, we mean having enough, and then some, to meet our needs, comfortably. Maybe even before official retirement age. With a few luxuries thrown in.
E-a-s-e out of the rat race. Consider becoming semi-retired. It’s your life.
Become wiser. Embrace freedom and simplicity. Whether you are embracing or dreading an Empty Nest as your offspring or roommates leave home, you will find yourself with a simpler schedule, and more time on your hands. Wake up and smell the coffee, not the stale pizza boxes lurking in said offspring’s empty bedroom.
Maybe it’s not destined to be a bedroom any more. You could transform it into that writer’s den or hobby room you’ve always wanted.
Start here, start now!
Join me as I explore a range of topics on the art of holding it all together, from pre-retirement, to finding peace with your body, to decluttering (or maybe even ‘Swedish Death Cleaning’ for the morbidly inclined), to messing things up again, to driving into the countryside with the wind in your hair.
What are you waiting for?
Right now is the best time to start, and where you are is the best place to do it!
