Thanks for this, this was very well worded. I've arrived at a point where I'm financially 'well' and don't need to work and this is message is EXACTLY what I've been processing for the last year. I have a friend that would offer financial and health advice at times, some of it which was pretty good! But a few years ago I stopped listening to his advice when I looked at his situation realizing that I was taking financial and health advice from a man that was living in his brothers basement, living month to month and was extremely overweight and had developed a fair number of health issues. I felt that he was projecting his ideals but didn't ever listen to his own advice. My financial wellbeing and overall health has dramatically improved since. But it's unfortunate because I've now 'arrived' at a point in my life where none of my friends are here with me and I find it to be rather lonely. So now I'm searching for people that are in a similar position in life. It's daunting.
Thanks for your comment, and that sounds like you did the right thing to listen to your gut & move forward with your life goals. You will of course find like minded people who want to progress in every aspect of their life too, you've got this! At the end of the day, you are the captain of your own ship, and you can go whichever way you want to go. Onwards & upwards!:)
Great content today. Everyone needs to put at least one hour a week of their time into their finances. There are many resources to learn how to invest today, people need to take advantage of them. Investing is not gambling, not a sprint either, but a marathon. The earlier that you start investing the better your results will be.
my parents started off their working lives in the mid 60s. once I realized what the sequence of return looked like for their formative years, it made sense that they didn't believe in investing in the markets (they have some investments now, but they have stayed very conservative from my understanding). they also paid off their mortgage early. in the 80s that made perfect sense. but to take their advice to do the same thing over the past two decades would not have been optimal. (I did it anyways) otoh, my dad always focused on the importance of transferable skills and strong networks, not being more loyal to an employer than they are to you - that has stayed relevant.
