Why You Should Reach Financial Independence
Oh Financial Independence – our biggest long-term goal. Peter and I are in our 30s, and as more and more airline and cruise deals keep popping up, the more of the world we want to see. How will we do that if we’re employed full-time right now? Well, we can’t. Except we vowed that we will, in the future. The thing is, we both refused to leave our jobs and just travel the world full-time and become digital nomads right now.

2019 Life Updates: We Took a Break/Advice for Changing Jobs
It’s the start of 2019 and yet we haven’t even made a single post about our travel plans for the year (and other plans, that is, as I wrote this post).

Why is it easy to spend money and so hard to earn it
Says the normal employed person, which accounts for a lot of us in the world. We toil and toil just to chase the little colored printed papers (greenbacks in the US) in order to live well and survive. It is a question we all ask most days when we want to buy or spend on something: Why is it easy to spend money and so hard to earn it? None of my answers are scientific. These are just mere observations, and of course, based on my own personal experience. For the record, I have a full-time desk job that gets paid every 2 weeks with a few side hustles tossed…
