Notes on Escape




That’s exactly the voice/crazyness I was feeling a few weeks ago.  

I need to remember this quote when I want to buy a big tv for the new house :)

This is suuuper interesting.  I grew up in a household that clipped/used coupons pretty regularly.  Problem with it really is mental brain space.  Having a bunch of ideas all at once is fine, but actually dedicating small snippets of time/brain space/energy is trying to find immediate gratification.  Mental space diversion is distraction.  

I love this book's idea of semi-retirement as I think I'd go stir crazy with 100% freedom/relaxation time for myself.  I've done that before and it just doesn't really appeal.  But I do enjoy working on my own time, helping others, and doing so without having to think about the bank account balance.  We'll get there (the wifey and I).  

I also like the idea of planning out a budget for my epic adventure, i.e. finding the total cost, then divide that by how many months are left till said adventure so that it is easier to see what amount I need to save each month to get that thing.

Overall a nice quick read that I'd recommend to anyone.  I read it in maybe an hour tops.
