Whether it is living in a RV, traveling throughout the states or living in a beautiful house with a view, have a vision of where you want to end up.
We spend so much time working and work related activities such as getting ready for work, driving, spending 8-10 hours working, shopping for clothes to go to work in, that we forget to make time to think about the reason why we do all this. I recognize we do this for our family and children, but I have news for you. Your children will grow up and leave you one day (if you’re lucky). Then, where will you be?
Here’s how I envisioned my financial freedom and retirement:
- Start with a daily ritual with meditation, stretching, exercising, and writing
- Garden, cook, and walk
- Give back to the community through volunteer work
- Travel to all the national parks
- Travel internationally
None of these things involve being financially stressed.
Create a vision page of pictures of where you want to be and your goals to keep you focused and on track for financial freedom and early retirement. One day, you will wake up and know exactly how you got there.
