Amen. It goes so quickly! Simplicity is definitely best. It makes me feel great when I can donate or get rid of things. We don't have the VW Polo here in the US. I saw them when we were in Ireland though.

It's so good to be on the same page with that kind of stuff!

My pleasure. I like the simplicity of the kettlebell too. If you go on an extended road trip all you really need to bring is that one piece of equipment.

It sounds like you had an abundance of what really matters! That must've been a wonderful thing to learn about your husbands acts of kindness. That's the best legacy a person can leave. The hedonic treadmill

Thankfully it worked out great yesterday! No smashed toes! : ) A few boxes had almost disintegrated and were coming open though. This tile was made in Indonesia so the boxes were worse for the wear. If

Thank you! I felt like more of Citadel's plan needed to be revealed at this point to make the stakes a little higher.

So glad you're enjoying it!

I really enjoyed this Lizelle! In some ways it reminded me of The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. Mother Earth is really a good term for our planet because "she" gives so selflessly to us. Great

That's awesome! As long as you're happy with your fitness level that's what's important. Once you start to scale back on refined sugars the insulin spikes/drops and dopamine release will become less severe

Thanks! It took many years to build up to this. It’s dialed in pretty well now to maintain strength, fitness, and weight. Sugar is very difficult to cut back on but I tell you once you change your gut

Thank you Nancy! Every now and then I'm reminded why I love this platform so much and the comments on this post are one of those instances. It seems like quite a few people from our generation (X) grew

What you say about credit is so true. It's all in how you use it. Cash back rewards can be a pretty good revenue stream. Just paying for monthly expenses with my cards I can usually earn between $50-$80

I'm a big fan too. I see so many, especially from the younger generations, that are spoiled and entitled. A lot of people maintain the appearance of a middle class life through credit. Sooner or later

Thank you! It has to have been tough in Venezuela since Maduro took office. There is a lot of truth in that phrase tough times create strong people. I hope things get better in your country soon. The economy

That sounds like it was a time of struggle for you! I'm glad you were never unhappy during those times. I had some very lean years in early adulthood but was always lucky to have the basic necessities.

We had the same kind of childhood. We were probably what would be considered lower middle class but we never felt like we were missing out on anything and were generally happy. Looking back I'm very grateful

Thanks! It sounds like you are living the life most people imagine with they think of wealth—you've achieved that special kind of freedom most people are searching for. I think wealth beyond a certain

Thank you! I really appreciate the info!
