152. Keeping it simple sillies

Keeping things simple sounds so easy, but we know simple isn’t easy. 

Let’s use finances as an example. 

In order to achieve financial independence we need to :

  • Earn 
  • Save 
  • Invest 

Earn many, save that earned money, to invest that earned money.

Do this long enough and eventually our investment income will exceed our expenses and we won’t need to work anymore – unless we want too. 

It’s simple, not easy. 

Because going out to bars, buying the latest phone or car, bigger house…

It sounds like we need these things to live but we don’t 

So that means if we don’t need these things and toys to make us happy, could we reach our financial goals sooner? 

Well yeah, because we don’t need as much money to buy the unnecessary things that we think will make us happy but leave us feeling empty. 

And this isn’t a bunch of letters saying not to want toys and nice things…

This is more about knowing exactly what we want and where we want to go, so we know how much moolah we need to make from our investments 

Do we need 1,000$ a month, 10,000$, 100,000$?
