It's 9pm and you drag your sorry butt through the front door of your house and slump into the sofa after another grueling grind. You wonder why after working your ass off day after day you don't have a dollar to your name. You turn on your 40" plasma TV and wonder how the hell those "working" people in tv dramas ever find the time to two-time their spouses, when you don't even have time for 1 (spouse, that is).
If the above paragraph describes your life, you might want to stop and think. Really hard. About your life, that is. This will be the part where I am supposed to pop up and say I have some great, REVOLUTIONARY idea that will change will your life. Unfortunately, I don't. I do, however, face the same situation above (minus the 40" plasma). If you are interested in my "sob story", you can read the personal profile (it's not done up yet, but I will get to it when it's not 3am in the weekday morning), but my conclusion was MY life can be better, and it MUST start with me.
With that in mind, I spent a good year of my life actually looking through and at my life honestly. I also spent time reading books and blogs, researching, talking with friends and experts in personal finance. This blog is started to develop my ideas on 2 things.
1) Money, and how it should matter; and amazingly, it's not how most people think of it.
2) How we spend our time, and why time and money are equal.
I plan to have a weekly writeup, each week developing a core idea that I learnt. Eventually, I will start a series that focuses on how each idea becomes a system of gradual steps that leads me to start living a better life.
I end off with a quote-worthy sound-byte from 1 of the people I chatted with:
"Anyone can tell you how to live your life, but only YOU can decide how you want to live it."
