Quotes to ponder:

"You can pay as you go. You save money and then you spend it. If you don’t have the money, you can’t afford it and if you can’t afford it, you don’t buy it."

"Financial independence means not having to finance like the people in class 2 and it usually also implies not having to earn money by working, but let’s not get hung up on words."

"There are a lot of stories about people who wanted to squeeze in just one extra bit of work to meet some retirement target. Then when they reach it, they think to themselves, well, if I worked just a little longer, I could buy this and this and that."
