I listened to a podcast about this guy who coined this term…passion saving. It’s all about saving in order that you can pursue your passions now, or soon, NOT “saving for retirement.” It actually is a lot like the “your money or your life” idea, but anyway, it’s an idea that I really like. It does involve making constant, conscious choices (at least at first…I would imagine that over time many things disappear as choices) like, “would I rather have this cup of fancy expensive coffee or would I rather be able to do my around the world trip next year (2 years from now, whatever)?” Of course, sometimes I do pick the coffee, but I do it with a conscious intention…..yes, that IS what I want most right now. I imagine that makes me enjoy the coffee quite a bit as I am drinking it right now.

Anyway, this is another approach to take as I figure out my future.
