Money

Also while watching the debate last night, amidst all the talk of incomes and taxation, the wife and I discussed money. Both in vague generalizations and specific realities to our own situation, and how things are more expensive for us despite the fact that our incomes have remained relatively stable (despite my fluctuations into negative and sub-par zones). Gas and house prices, I’m talking to you.

Anyhow, in a tangential vein, the best definition I have ever heard of “financial independence” is one I heard from self-improvement / business guru Brian Tracy:

Financial independence [and I paraphrase] is having enough money where having enough money is no longer a problem.

How’d’ya like that!
