RE: I Got Burned Out Doing Nothing... So I moved to another Tropical Island!
Wow, what a way to live. Someday... maybe when the children don't need us anymore, then, we can live anywhere, travel everywhere and live the good life.
Don't forget to set your goals and do not let anything interfere with them. Planning and saving makes it all possible!
Thanks for the tip. Got to start saving soon. And planning too. As the saying goes, not planning is planning to fail.. Really got to start soon.
We began the process by de-cluttering and not buying anything we didn't need. No more buying of new cars, giant TV's, expensive smart phones, stopped eating out, etc. We also eliminated ALL of our credit cards and bills, except for the mortgage. You would be surprised how easy it is to save if you quit living so lavishly (some would say above your means). The reality is that no one gets rich (or ahead) by using credit. It is a process that takes some getting used to but if you stay focused on the goal, it is rather easy to do. If you have children I understand it can be more difficult, but if you reign them in and make them part of the plan, it can be accomplished. Best wishes going forward!
Thanks for sharing. We used to be quite thrifty but when it comes to the kids, we try so hard to give them the very best, always thinking they should not have to struggle like we did. And even now, we just keep working so hard, so we can save for their education. The time will come for us to take care of ourselves once the kids can fend for themselves. And yes, we hope to retire to wherever we want just like you.
Just keep on Steemin' and you will get there before you know it!
