Financial Independence Day Week Celebration
A few rude wake up calls have recently come our way. One of Princess Muffins’ co-workers died in her sleep in her late 50’s. It forced us to think: we’re not too far away from that. She didn’t have time to “retire”, and spent the last of her time working her miserable job. Our life goals have since shifted toward actually LIVING life, rather than spending said lives in analysis paralysis, planning and planning, waiting to die or retire, whichever comes first. Part of this living of life involves strategic use of various resources at our disposal while we’re “working” in order to have a far more pleasant existence. Historically, this has meant spending some quality time as a long weekend here or there, and creating an enterprise out of blogging about our travels and efforts to live a higher quality life while still somewhat working as “wage slaves”.
