When you see something, decide you want it, and then give into that impulse, you’re allowing the childlike, emotional, and impulsive part of your brain (the amygdala and other associated structures) to take control.

Why The Financial Independence Community Matters
Financial Independence is a lifestyle. It’s not for everyone. But just like any hobby or passion – sports, arts, theater, cooking, another language, etc., financial independence is a common goal of a community. Being part of a group of like-minded people is invaluable for a number of reasons.
Living A Better Life Interview – Money Saved is Money Earned
If you had to give just 1 tip that you’ve learned along your journey, what would it be and why?
Tawnya – People will always tell you to do what you love. Some others might push you to find a career that makes good money. I’d say you must have a balance of both. You’re not automatically set with a college degree anymore, and with the increase in student loans many people are entering careers they “love” that don’t allow them to make a decent living and get out of debt. On the flip side, those who chose high paying careers only may find themselves hating their job. My advice would be to find a balance. Find a career you can tolerate that makes decent money, and understand that there will be good and bad points to each job.
Sebastian – Making a good meaningful living takes hard work, discipline, and commitment to succeed. Look for opportunities rather than hanging your head down after adversities. Feel good about getting up and going to school and work, it is a privilege!
