I'm not happy. I live a comfortable life, but I'm not happy. So how do I get happy? For me, I want to run off into the sunset with a motor home and my boyfriend and live happily ever after. But let's be real. As a financial planner told me yesterday "That would be financial suicide". Just what I wanted to hear. So everything that I've been working towards for my whole life would be gone in a flash and if my dreams don't work out, I'll be back at square one.
I was scrolling down my newsfeed on FB (Facebook) yesterday and saw a clip from the Late Show with Conan O'brian interviewing Louis CK. http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D8r1CZTLk-Gk&h=1ca54 That man is a genius. Talking about our technology today he said "everything is amazing and nobody's happy". Well he certainly pinned the tail on the donkey. Everyone I know hates their job, is bogged down by responsibilities and is so worried about getting through their day to day lives, that they have lost touch with what truly matters to them.
Is changing your life worth Financial Suicide? Do we have to choose between endentured servitude or financial death? Maybe there's a way to have your damn cake and eat it too, afterall, who wants to just look at a cake? If you can't eat it you're just gonna throw it away anyway. So, I'm gonna figure out how to get nice and fat on the cake of life and the icing of freedom without cracking the plate that it's sitting on.
