Let's choose happiness
Let's choose happiness

A lot of us are in pursuit of happiness, imagining that one day we’ll ‘arrive’ at a new state of being. But happiness isn’t a future thing, it’s not a place, and other people won’t sort it out for us. We have to take control.

Everyone has their own shit
Everyone has their own shit

We’re constantly comparing our lives to others, and it can hold us back from our own goals and financial growth. It’s time to realise that the grass isn’t greener, and the best time to start is now.

It's feast or famine in the future of work
It's feast or famine in the future of work

The 9 to 5 life won’t last, and if we snooze on this we’ll wake up to a serious drop in our standards of living. Now’s the time to prepare, starting with some serious financial carb loading.

What if we lived forever?
What if we lived forever?

Our assumptions about how long we’ll live, how we’ll structure our lives, and how we’ll deal with that financially are completely outdated. We urgently need to think about life as a 100-year journey, shake up the norms, and embrace compounding to exist in the same or better terms than now.

Cut the crap, save the planet
Cut the crap, save the planet

We’re all at fault of mindless spending on crap we don’t need, and so much of it ends up in landfill. If we can get more intentional with what we buy, we can keep our financial six packs in shape, and stop stuffing up our planet too.

When analysis paralysis strikes
When analysis paralysis strikes

Stuck in agony tossing up the chocolate fondant versus the creme brulee? Just like we painfully deliberate over the dessert menu, we can do the same with our money. And this indecision can mean we’re missing out on our big picture goals.

The anchors that hold us back
The anchors that hold us back

We often fixate on the first idea we hear — such as ‘property is good’ or ‘super is the best for retirement’ — and base our decisions on this info. But these anchors can weigh us to strategies that aren’t right for us, and hold us back from the goals that we actually give a f**k  about.

Why aren't we talking about income?
Why aren't we talking about income?

In the workplace and amongst family and friends, the topic of our wages can be seriously taboo. But if we can stop being so awkward there are definitely positives in sharing — and not just to argue for a payrise!

Let's talk about money
Let's talk about money

We talk endlessly about our families, relationships, work, favourite foods and even our sex lives — but sharing how we choose to open our wallets is still so taboo. What great things could happen if we all speak up?

The Dorito effect
The Dorito effect

Just like we cut loose on junk food, we often give ourselves permission to splash our cash and say ‘f**k the the consequences’. But make it a habit and your bigger goals — whether it be that house, holiday, course, or dream of life with less work — will come crashing down.

Are you really making the right progress?

It’s so easy to get caught up in society’s continual busyness and ticking off the milestones. But is the progress you’re making actually the right progress for you?
