Last week, I purchased and received a copy of Jim Collin’s latest book “The Simple Path the Wealth”. I had no expectation from the book except everyone in the personal finance community had great reviews about it. Are they all biased?
No, I have to agree with all of them. It is indeed a great book.
As a Personal Finance blogger, I love the diversity of view-points and topics that are around us and some of the content is really great. It helps me understand some of the big trends and make better decisions on my own journey to Financial Independence.

We all know that the most important step in making the decisions to be Financially Independent or to Retire Early is to have a goal. That goal needs to be big enough that we can stick to it when the initial excitement wears off.
Yet, there’s plenty of folks haven’t found that goal yet. So I got an idea.

By now, I’m sure you’re bored with Brexit.
Fear not!
This isn’t going to be a post on my predictions for the future of Britain, the UK or Europe. Because I have no idea what is going to happen. But if you want a quick summary, I’d recommend John Oliver’s hilarious show on Brexit (or head over to The Economist for more in-depth coverage).
What I’d like to explore is : what were the motivations behind Leave voters and what can we learn from them?
I’m having one of the best coffee I’ve had in a long time. For me, a cup of coffee has long been associated with some sort of relaxation, an excuse to slow down and have a break or a way to meet friends or co-workers for a chat (sometimes both).
Two weeks ago, as my wife and I were leaving for our babymoon, I had the option to upgrade our Houston-Paris flight to Business Class. The idea of flying with leg room, Champagne and flat beds for 11h was tempting. So I did what every money conscious person would not do and I accepted. Here’s how it was.
