If money is your god, usiseme kila mtu ako hivo tu. Research F.I.R.E. Its a movement very strong that some of us and
millions more have been a part of for a very long time. Not saying money is not important - it is. But financial independence (my definition, not yours) is way more important, fulfilling and satisfying
F.I.R.E
It is very possible. I was introduced to the concept by a friend who has actually achieved financial independence.
Basically they guy has enough investments to cover his living expense from education to housing etc.
Also his expenses are not high. No keeping up with the Kamau's and Ondieki's buying big cars or taking kids to GCSE schools.
The guy still works and his negotiations with his employers is so different from his peers because he doesn't really need the job but the employer really needs him.
FIRE is not about not thinking about money .... You think about money in a different way. Basically you treat your revenues the same way you look at a company P&L.
I am working to try and achieve that FIRE lifestyle.
