Got rid of all sorts of stuff today. I’ll be giving family and friends some of my unused things (Including my bass guitar) and then sending the rest to goodwill. I originally was going to do some sort of ‘100 things’ challenge but what I realized is that since I already live pretty simply, what I need to do is just keep an eye on what is accumulating, and keep down clutter and consumption.

This should help.

Well… I live on my own now, I can slowly pay for going back to school, and my freelancing work seems pretty steady and reliable.

For me, financial independence is simply earning more than you spend, and not having to ask people for handouts.

At least for the last 6 months, I’ve been able to do this, which means I think I’ve reached my goal.

I didn’t succeed on this goal but it did get me to talk to a few people.

It seems a little silly to keep starting over though…
