We love applying Stoic philosophy on a daily basis, but specifically applying principles to our financial independence journey. There's no one better to deliver these principles than Ryan. Enjoy!
The most important thing, I feel to take from this is the lack of need to purchase possessions which indebt us. I have long been a pupil of Stoicism, and it was very helpful to me when I started my business as income was low. However, I needed little and spent little and my mortgage was very affordable with little other debt. Now, I'm making better profits but it still weighs heavily on me when I purchase items. I did buy a nice wallet for £45 (reduced from £90), and that nearly tore me apart, but I needed a new one. The eternal struggle.

Good One! Thank you for your well thought out comments! MarkMannM2
Love how he points out the relationship between fragility and reliance on good fortune. I might have to pick up "Meditations" (Marcus Aurelius' book)

Don't let necessities tear you apart, life is too short!
Financial wellness is an important part to a meaningful life.
