Every Friday I share some of my favourite content that I have read, watched, or listened to that week. Most of the content will be focused on achieving financial independence, although achieving happiness also plays a big role.
There are a lot of great blogs out there, and hopefully the Friday faves will introduce you to a new website.
Maybe just not your favourite one :).
Happy Friday all. Congratulations, you have made it to the end of another week. Here is my selection of best content for this week:
1/. Have yourself an atelic little Christmas (Tim Harford)
2/. 10 ways to find joy in life (The retirement manifesto)
3/. Growing your wealth confidence (Standard deviations podcast)
4/. Routine kills a man (Life after the daily grind)
5/. Staying the course is harder than it sounds (A wealth of common sense)
6/. 10 lessons from Charlie Munger (Signal or noise podcast)
7/. How to have better habits in 2024 (Ryan Holiday)
8/. Valuable things that are cheap (Mr Stingy)
9/. 10 helpful financial moves to make every year (Financial Samurai)
That is all for this year. We will be enjoying an afternoon feast with the extended family on Christmas Day, then packing up most of our possessions all ready for a freight truck to collect on the 28th of December to transport to our new build house in Northland. We will be following the truck (not literally) up north, staying at a few places of friends and family along the way, before meeting the truck at the house for unloading. From there we will make the long journey back to Wellington again for just a few weeks, where we will look to sell any furnishings left over that we don’t want, get the house ready for rent from the end of January, before heading back up north again to settle into our new location.
I can’t wait to see the new house for the first time in a couple of weeks. It’s only about a month from being fully complete. Just a few small(ish) jobs inside and out to complete. I’ll post an article with all the juicy details about the build, in particular the cost. I’m sure that’s all most people are ever interested in!
Plenty of action for us. But always time to provide financial advice! So if you need any assistance don’t hesitate to reach out.
Have a great Christmas and enjoy a well earned break.
