How much of your mortgage is for you… your actual, physical body… and how much is just rent for your stuff?
I'd never seen this question before. Not on any financial planning guide I've seen. I answered it. What I realized had an immediate impact on my choices.
Most of us aren't spending money to live... We're paying to store a version of ourselves… often one we no longer are.
What part of your life are you still paying for, but no longer living?
Imagine the freedom you'll have without it. Imagine the job you no longer need to do… and the passionate creative expression you can bring to the world. This isn't a drill or make-believe scenario. It's real insight about how we live. And how we imprison ourselves.
