Right here in DC. We are divesting possessions and getting ready to be nomadic. We hope to rent out our house and get started next summer. To be continued...
Awesome, Allen! I loved reading your elaboration on your approach to budgeting and categorizing purchases. I remember your sharing about it on the car ride and it really struck a chord with me. As another member of the Royal Hot Mess Society, I love this way of considering and not judging ourselves for being R.H. Messes but taking that into account when planning. :)
It is amazing how writing can really crystalize your thoughts about a subject. There were a few "aha!" moments during this writing process. My favorite moment is when I realized - unallocated money lacks an emotional anchor, and so it's often easy pickings for "Impulsive Me".. so now I am in a rush to give those dollars a job as fast as possible :)
This makes compassionate sense. Love it. Thanks, Allen!
Speaking of the emotional component to spending, my blog post This Shirt is Good Enough touches on a similar vein: https://fieldtripnotebook.com/?p=91
I love it. What is the saying? "Perfect is the enemy of good." The shirt is good. Move on with your day :)
Thanks Launa! Where (in the world) are you guys these days?
