Not Sexy


I built myself an Engine. This is Capital which acts as my breadwinner so I can be a homemaker. I didn’t do this through a quick fix. I picked off the menu with the skills and privileges I had. I studied hard at university for a degree I knew would get me a well-paid job. A degree an Insurance Company was willing to pay, and to support me through my studies with mentors, for. I then did further professional qualifications and invested half my earnings. I tapped out early because I prefer time and relationships to money, and cut back dramatically on my expenses. There is no magic here. I don’t know what other people’s menus are. My special talent is (often excessive) delayed gratification and self-discipline. I create (sometimes ridiculous) made up rules and stick to them. Not sexy. But it did free me up eventually. This isn’t a choice everyone would want to (or can) make, but I suspect there are rhyming decisions people can make to build the kind of life they want to live.
