For the new year, I am focusing on making myself financial independent. I want to be, and I am going to focus on that from now on.

It is not easy for a person carrying my mindset, an artist, traveler and free spirit, but that doesn't mean it is not important and necessary.
I am realizing that a year perhaps won't be enough and it is a lifelong promise I am making to myself after few years of living on the edge. Especially this last summer gave me a lot of lessons.

My narrative shifted. I now see the whole process as "taking care of myself" rather than whatever else was there. I begun by setting relatively doable financial goals.

Of course I didn't come all the way to find any type of job, I want to bloom through my values and skillset, but it seems more possible than it did before. It is because the idea of being on a mission feels funky enough and motivates me. I want to bring my values forward.

How about you beautiful people? What is it the one thing you are changing? No matter how big or small it may be.

learn to live very frugal with just the minimum basics. invest wisely and remember that first 100k is the hardest to build up.

@1490wayb I will need sometime before I get to that one though. At least from where I am right now I don't see how to go there.
