My thoughts on a behavioural trap I see in the FI community, how to recognise it and how to fix it. Far more common than you might think, and it can prevent you from enjoying the wonderful wealth you’re building.

Why deliberate spending is my favourite money management style. What it really means and how you can use it as your situation and priorities change over time.
I explain why (and how) I bought a Tesla. The experience so far. How much it cost, and ongoing savings/expenses. Charging options + EV basics. Tax rebates + subsidies. And whether you should get an EV.
How to harness the 80/20 rule across your income, spending, investing, and life in general, to make more progress with less frustration.
My best advice for having a great year. Improving your mindset. Spending more consciously. Boosting your income. Perfecting your investment portfolio. And living a healthier life.
If people spent less, wouldn’t the economy collapse? What happens when everyone saves and invests? If lots of people retire, who does the important jobs? And how do we generate enough tax revenue?
A central hub for content and resources focused specifically on transitioning to FI or semi-retirement life. My best articles, interviews with others, calculators, social groups and more.
I compare renting vs owning a home and look at which option gives you more control and predictability over your personal finances. Warning: may trigger homeowners.
From start to finish, how I would approach the FI journey if I woke up broke. What work I’d do, whether I’d buy or rent, lifestyle, savings rate, etc. Could I do it again, and how long would it take?
I discuss how the world of money and spending evolved into the modern era. I explore how there’s now a great divide between those with knowledge and those without, between those who think for themselves and take action… and everyone else.
Becoming rich and happy are probably the two most common aspirations. I explain how to achieve both, why I’m still working on it, and how one can help with the other. It’s not complex, but it takes time and effort.
A detailed look at side hustles, and whether they can help you achieve your financial goals. I look at the numbers, pros and cons, things to consider, and who’s best suited to take on a side hustle.
