Great post, as always, @getonthetrain! I picked up “The Millionaire Mind” by Thomas J. Stanley two days ago on Amazon and am reading it now. So a lot of what you’re talking about in this post resonates with me deeply. And not just from reading that book for the past two days. That’s just 1% of my inspiration. The other 99% come from the past 20 years of experience, living on my own (or supporting myself and a partner), being frugal with my resources, earning, saving, investing, running an enterprise on a side. As a result, I’m now saving about half of my monthly paycheque, investing it smartly (the latest great investment was Bitcoin), piling up F**k You!-money, and – slowly but consistently – getting closer to full financial freedom and independence. Day by day, step by step.

I am thankful for your posts that keep me motivated and inspired to live this way and pass on this wisdom to others! Keep up your great work and steem on!
