Less $$ More Joy
I remember hearing retired folks talking about being on a “Fixed Income” and thinking, what???everyone is on a “Fixed Income!” Your income is fixed by your ability to earn. Today I understand what they meant, as you age you MAY find your options for increasing your income are narrow, due to the type of work, your social security status (retiring early), your physical health and even the economy, government or a pandemic like 2020-2021. We’ve found that less money has actually brought more joy and the freedom to give more! It’s amazing!
How about you, do you have more joy with less money?
