A Day At Work

I don’t consider myself to be a “tech” guy but, in general, I’m pretty much up-to-date on topics that are relevant to both my professional career and personal lifestyle.

A couple of weeks ago we had a meeting about one of the projects I’m currently leading. After a couple of months of hard work, the project reached a milestone that required coming up with a very detailed and specific desired state.

Kris from Chronicles of a Father with Cents recently posted a very insightful article about his financial mistakes. When I finished reading it, I had no choice but to reach out to him to share an idea that came to mind.

Diminishing returns

I’m a big fan of the Happy Philosopher. His style is unique and I find his articles to be thought-provoking. I would like to highlight a recent post titled “Stacking Functions“.

This is by no means an extension to his post, it is simply the introduction of a concept that fits very nicely with topics around Financial Independence.

My Financial Mentor

Some might say they’ve stumbled upon the Financial Independence community just by chance or by a desire to live life in a completely different way.  I would like to believe that if you dig deeper you’ll find that your interactions with key individuals played a major role in shaping who you are and what you’re striving to achieve.
