I've thoroughly enjoyed some blog posts and articles that I have come across recently, and I've been meaning to share them with you. I hope you find inspiration or ideas in the links below. Enjoy!
- Want to simplify your life, but not sure where to start? This great WikiHow called "How to Live a Simple and Peaceful Life" will give you some guidance on reducing your time commitments and slowing down.
- Want to retire sooner rather than later? Mainstreet.com's article How Extreme Savers Can Retire By 40 may be a little optimistic age-wise. But it does point out how what many consider to be ordinary lifestyles could seem lavish to others — and just how much we could really save if we considered some extreme changes. You may not be ready to go this far, but it does get you thinking, and perhaps one of these actions will feel doable for you.
- Mr. Money Mustache's post Curing Your Clown-Like Car Habit is a hilarious, crass, and sort of hard-assed reprimand to those of us driving for most of our transportation needs (yep, that includes me). Definitely worth the read.
- If you aren't getting ahead but find yourself in avoidance-of-reality mode, this Simple Dollar post called Staying Afloat Isn't Enough might be just what you need. For me it was a good kick-in-the-pants to stop ignoring my financial problems and start getting serious. I have to do that every few months if I want to stay on track to stop living paycheck to paycheck someday!
And I'd like to leave you with a quote I read yesterday in the Huffington Post article Anxiety Quotes: 8 Reasons to Stop Worrying:
"Do not anticipate trouble or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.”
– Benjamin Franklin
Keep in the sunlight, friends.
