Quotes to ponder:
"Budgets tend to look at all your spending and try to force you to ruthlessly cut back on everything. But what they don’t do is EMPOWER you."
"What you’ve just written down are your top three VALUES. These are what you SHOULD be spending money on."
"Everyone’s path to Financial Independence is unique, and uniquely their own. So figure out your values, and fill that jar your way, with your own rocks, and screw what anyone else thinks."
