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.
