yes - i have heard that also - financial freedom!! hehehe and I do like that term also.

i think the words "financial efficiency" popped into my head last night because you know... if I am here - in the US - with financial freedom - then that is a lot of money spend on things that maybe... dont' deserve that price tag - you know?

but the financial efficiency really allows me to get what i need - at the cost that I think it really deserves. and then allows me to not just get what I need - but possibly help others too. and efficiency is a really strong concept for me in my life. I hate waste... of all kinds! hehe

and you know - I think - here in America - I have friends that can spend $300 on a purse - without even batting an eyelash.. and they have "financial freedom" but... is this what is best FOR ME. ( i can't remark on them hehehe so i won't... but for me... is this what I aspire to??? to be FREE enough financially to spend $300 on a simple purse when a $10 one might do??)

you see my point? hahaha I really struggle with this - and then it hit me - ahhhhhhhhh what i'm looking for is FINANCIAL EFFICIENCY. and - yes - before last night, I had never thought of it. LOL but i might have to write an entire post on that now hahahahaha because talking about it with you in the comment section (which is always my most favorite place to be..) is causing me to define it even further.

when $300 can buy you a purse - or be rent for someone for a month... hmmm yes - hard for me to not see the clear distinction there - and the clear choice for me!

but please dont think i'm being judgmental about people who spend that much money on purses! hahaha because I am not in the clear! lol

I just went to UK last month.. well no - now 6 week ago - and the money I spent there could also do a lot more things in the world - and yet, i chose to spend it on my passion for travel and connecting me with friends.

is that the most efficient too?? hehehe yeah - it's all things to consider right? hahahaha

but that's why it tied into the bottom point which is - MOVING to a place where it DOESTN' cost that much to bring people to me... hahahaha so - i guess i'm on the right track - i just need to get there! LOLOl slowly slowly. hehe

and yes - $65 in gas for every time I have to go to the store. now - I live rurally, so this is why its extreme for me. but still! its reality!

and yes - those delivery services - when I compare the shipping costs to gas??? there is no comparison - hahahaha i will take the delivery every time! not only does it save me in gas -but i get more of my PRECIOUS TIME back too hahahahaha

and let me tag @itsostylish here... because she was asking where someone can live comfortably for $10 a day too hehehe I'm sure there are many places - we were looking at 3... but see Stylish hehehe its out there!!!! LOL I think there are many places if you can position yourself to move.

that's the question though isn't it... CAN you always position yourself to move??? not always! and that's where my frustration comees in with the borders, the visas, the restrictions, the governments that tie people down with their political nonsense!
ugh.. this comment is too long now hahahahahahahaha

but thank you for the brilliant comment @simplifylife !!! i enjoyed this conversation hehehe
