Hah – awesome! Thanks so much for letting me know – it’s notes like this that KEEP ME continuing with the blog! Without feedback it would be like talking (writing?) to a wall :)

I’m so glad you’re enjoying it. It’s taken me a while to really *understand* money, and now that it’s sunk in I see the whole world different. And hopefully you guys start doing so too! It’s amazing once you “figure it out.”

Okay, i started reading your blog last week since Republic Wireless shared that 7 things article, and posts like this are the reason I continue to read. Money is all well and good, but it isn’t happiness, and you get that. You seem very self aware and understanding that priorities are different for different people and that priorities change. I’m loving your advice. (also this gives me something to do when i’m sitting bored on the night shift and motivates me to keep up with good spending habits)

Oh wow I think you’re getting soft in your old age :)

But this is actually really good, and an important message. While we’re always hustling for more and working on our ‘staches, gotta take a moment to appreciate all we already have.

I get an automated email every night that’s tied to a Google form that asks what I got done that day and what I’m grateful for. When I’m down I can read through the hundreds of entries and realize I’m making progress and all things considered, life’s not so bad :)

Cheers,
Nick

Lol what a thing to tell your wife even if it is true! I hope you don’t do it right before she’s about to fall asleep to jolt her awake:P

I’m pretty happy with my life and what I have. All my needs are fulfilled. I’m still working towards a lot of goals but no rush at all. No kids yet though! That’s one goal coming up.

This is perfect. Just what I needed! I’m having a tough time with money right now, but only because I perceive it as tough. I could have it way worse. I’ve got my sweet husband napping by my side and my cuddly dog nearby. Life ain’t so bad. Time to put the tablet down and enjoy their company. Thank you for the reminder to be grateful.

Great post! It is awesome to see how the people can come so far from where they have started. I look forward to getting to the point you are, while valuing the experiences that happen along the way.
