My Street Rod......

It’s a 35 Chevy, chopped, dropped and ready for a ride. If only I could figure out how to make time when it isn’t raining or I’m not doing chores. After all, my planning netted enough extra cash to fund this hobby, why not enjoy it?

Many of us that have these hobbies and yet we can’t seem to figure out how to prioritize in a way that lets us enjoy them. Why not just set aside an afternoon?

Well, there is the yard, the house, the new deck, the bathroom remodel, cleaning the office, the basement and more. But, I promise myself, I am going to go for a wonderful ride in this beauty before the winter comes. I am also going to take a day with my wife at the lake to kayak, swim and picnic. I am going to find time to enjoy life; how about you?

Will we follow through or will it just slip through our hands for another year? My wish to you is that you find time, along with me, to enjoy these things while young enough to do so.

AND- We can also think about planning for our financial future another day: or can we? Gooday!

The Beginning.........August 7, 2007

Gooday! That's my way of letting you know I wish you well! ON the serious side: what are you doing today? Working, vacationing, enjoying, what? I am doing all of these and more.
Don't get me wrong, I am not yet financially independent: but I am on my way. On my way because one day it dawned on me that you really do have to start somewhere; the big surprise was to realize that you start wherever you are when you finally realize it!
Well now what?
I have no magic spell for success, in fact our definitions of it are most likely going to be very different. So there is the beginning point, complete your definition of success. It is "hard work" because to find it, you have to cast away all the cliche's, strip out all the "old stuff" imposed on you by life experience and just figure out what you would consider to be "success". HOW much of that is just lifestyle versus financial.
When you get there, you will be ready to begin the rest.
