How is it I keep getting stuck at question 1: what is the life you want to be living?? 😩

That's a tough question to answer! Maybe pare it down to a much smaller experience. What do you want to do/experience/achieve today...this week...this month?

This feels like such a refreshing way to look at money, budgeting and how they intersect with our current life circumstances and how we desire to live.

Thank you!

Thank you! I just took a huge salary cut for a job that will let me live my life according to how I want to live it, and I've been feeling icky a few days before start. This reaffirmed I'm on the right path!

So happy to hear that! That’s such a tough decision (sorry you had to make it at all), but I’m glad you’re staying strong in that conviction.

One of my major ways of expansion this year is to write more of the long form things I started my Substack for. I got caught up in readership and doubts about… well, you name it😆.

The money implication is that I’ll need my private practice to do more or I will need to use my resources differently. I’m opting for both things happening. Kinda rolling the dice. My thing is that I’m noticing how my distractedness plays into my spending. Shiny things are often obtained with money then, unfortunately, forgotten after the new shiny thing arrives. So some actual cutting back is necessary for me, for the reasons already mentioned and more importantly because I’m sick of being an over indulged distracted consumer. I know I’m much more than that. Being that person is what I’m aiming for.

Financial implications and all.
