Money. This is why I always say (and remind myself, because I tend to get lost in the shuffle too) that money is just NOT important. It’s a tool to help you meet goals, it shouldn’t be the goal itself!

I’d like to believe he lives a long and happy life and never has any emergencies whatsoever ;)

Cool!!! I love you for that :) (Reading my blog for so long, not for not calling me out. Though that is also sweet of you.)

I was!!!!! I started reading your blog about then! Haha I was pretty sure I had read it on your blog but I didn’t want to call it out just in case.

A promotion? Really? More money? To buy things, to impress others? For what? So I can grow old and then finally work less and live more?

There must be another way!

If you can do enough to be free today will you do it. I loved the story, but somebody with a negative mind will ask what will you do if you get old and can’t fish anymore? What will be a good response from the fisherman? How will he eat if he can’t fish? Do you really want to depend on your children to feed you when old? I like the moral of the story and maybe his answer is that he is socking away 50% of his pay for his real retirement.
