One of the most recent challenges i have is strong sense that i do not
have time for anything, but even when i stand still it still running at ever
increasing speed.
I think that the main contributing factor
is number of responsibilities, non-value added things i involved in. It does
clutter the life and takes away precisions moments when you could simply sit
and dream.
An analogue with personal finance is buying thing you can afford but do
not need. Over the period of time their number grows and you do need to replace them. It eats up and limit the potential savings you could make.
Positive moment that i am so stressed about
lack of time that i can work almost anywhere, when i have a moment to myself.
On the other hand (to be brutally honest) i feel like i have not made
any measurable progress in educating myself towards financial independence. The
savings have been made do not count, as i always been pretty careful (scared do
not have money). Yet again i spent
perhaps 2000 hours blogging, reading and commenting on the posts. It
gave me a unique insight into personal finances but sometimes i wish i spent
that time reading books and learned fundamentals about modern economy.
What i understood that for the most of the people financial independence
is a challenge and life long process
with no silver bullet. Some of us on a higher salary or (and) with no kids
achieve better results but with the real returns of 3-5% on the investment one cannot expect an early exit.
