Best Books To Help Improve Your Life
The Best Books To Help Improve Your Life Since Peter and I work full time, we don’t always get to travel everyday. In the down time that we have either by commuting, staying at home, waiting in a queue among others, we find other ways to improve ourselves and occupy our time by reading books.

Money Challenge Earning Passive Income for Basic Needs
As part of our financial independence goal, I kind of challenged myself to think more and more about how to earn more streams of passive and portfolio income so in the case that our earned income dries up, we’d have something to fall back on. The more I thought about it, the more it made sense, but the only problem was executing it. So, in order to keep me accountable for our goal of becoming truly Financially Independent, and in the event that we won’t have earned income, here’s a challenge: a money challenge earning passive income for basic needs. Earning Passive Income for Basic Needs If you’re frugal and plan to retire early…

The Happiness Fund
They say that money does not buy happiness - but what if it does, if only for a little while? What if you're at your wit's end and you just want something to take you out of your small spiral of sadness? A little bit of comfort, a little bit of sanity? Does it justify spending money?
