Are You Saving For A Rainy Day or a Sunny Day?

Are You Saving For A Rainy Day or a Sunny Day?

…Mey here at the newly opened Honolulu Coffee Company with my Mom, author of Veluli: Specimen AMAC-1, blogging about Are You Saving For A Rainy Day or a Sunny Day?

…why would anyone save for a rainy day?

…isn’t that when we all stay inside, and spend time cleaning the house or sleeping in?

…I mean, why would you need money on rainy days, instead of sunny days, or cloudy days…or anyday?

…let’s save for everyday, for the rest of our lives, so we can become financially free in our thirties instead of in our sixties (if ever…)…

…and let’s talk seriously about why it’s important to really think about this concept with saving for a particular day with something far more powerful…

What is Retirement and Do You Want It?

What is Retirement and Do You Want It?

…Mey here blogging quickly on a Saturday evening as my husband takes our son to the store to satisfy his craving for an egg salad sandwich on the topic – What is Retirement and Do You Want It?

…it’s an interesting question and today I was at the funeral of a dear friend who only retired in June 2013 and has passed away at 67, didn’t even collect her social security yet…

…she had plans to travel the world…

…and it struck me to write this very important post…

…because a lot of people work so hard so that they can retire…

…most never do, and working as greeters in Walmart (as my mentor Tracy Walker pointed out)…

…I ask you, if we are to live our fullest life, then why would we ever retire?

…and why would we work a job that we don’t enjoy in the first place?

How Valuable Is Your Time?

How Valuable Is Your Time?

Mey here on a cool Thursday morning, with the rain gently patting on the plants outside of my window, writing to you about one of the key questions to your financial freedom…How Valuable Is Your Time?

…to me, all of our financial freedom journey or quest really comes down to this one idea of the value of our time…

…because money isn’t what we are ultimately after when we want to be financially free…

…of course, we do need enough money to support ourselves and allow us to make choices regarding our lifestyle…

…the real indicator though of freedom is the value of our time…

…we want to have control over our own time…

…we want to be able to spend our time our way, by our own choice…

How Valuable Is Your Time?

…so, here are some questions to help you realize how much value you are putting on your time…

…most people agree that the most precious times in their lives are with their children and family…

…to be there for them for sporting events, or weddings, or just to play with your kids and share with each other on a daily basis…

…so do you take the time to do that?
