My life has caught up with me. My work has been steadily increasing, and my sleep is decreasing in direct correspondence.
When I had the idea for 365 Days of Saving Money, I didn’t realize how much time it took. I could handle that. What I couldn’t handle, was the realization that my blog, my editorial of my life had been reduced to daily sound-bites.
I started rethinking my blogging…I started rethinking my life.
It’s odd, but I’ve cut, slimmed, reduced, and simplified everything I can in my life. We live in 480 sf. We’re in the process of selling my car so we’ll be a one car family. I’ve put off having kids. I’ve cut my life as much as I can, and I’m not sure that I enjoy that anymore.
Many of the blogs that I’ve really enjoyed have been about reducing expenses for real joy: so that they can be home with their kids, so they can pursue their goals of traveling or starting a business.
I’ve just sliced my life, for the sake of paying less interest to someone else. It’s been feeling empty.
Don’t get me wrong, I still love saving money. Instead of releasing crappy sound-bites I hope to release 365 Days of Saving Money as an e-book within the next 30 days so that the writing, the tips, are quality.
I find myself needing to build instead of cut. My entrepreneurial spirit is starting to rev, and I’m excited about my future prospects. The truth is there comes a point where you’ve sliced as much as you can, and now you have to grow. I hope you enjoy better posts (albeit not on a daily basis) and the upcoming e-book, because you have all been such wonderful readers…you deserve my best.
