FIRE movement: 10 things that make me happy

Live frugal allow faster FIRE

As a saver first and spender latter. I tend to follow the golden rules. Spend below your means and invest the rest. If you let many years of doing the right thing, you can come to a point where your investment income can cover your frugul livestyle. You achieved at least financial independent.

DINK save you 30 years of bullshit job

Marriage, children and mortgage is life's biggest ticket item. If you skip any one of these you save 10 years of working in a job. If you skip all three of them, you basically realise you can't finish spending your money.

I want to die with zero

Therefore, as a D.I.N.K (dual income no kid), I am trying to adopt the new standard of dying with zero as I have no legacy planning. But having been frugal all my life. It is easy to for me to save money as I created my frugal man system. Spending money can be a pain in the ass and always get me into analysis paraylsis.

Then the solution is to, according to Jackie (my partner) to use what was mentioned in FIRE movement book. The 10 things that made you happy.

10 things that made me happy

1. Coffee
2. Personal safety, health and wellness
3. Productive tools that can generate income (solar system, leathertools, carpentry)
4. Investing into income producing system (Publish book, Affiliate website)
5. Giving back to community (family, Queenstown Kaki)
6. Brompton bikes
7. One bag travel like a nomad
8. Emotional expression (Singing in a KTV pub)
9. Blogging and Vlogging
10. Spend time with myself (space like work station, room coziness decor, gardening)

Damn!!! It is hard to come up with the 10 things specifically. I can only think of 10 areas where I want to put in more money.

Having this list help me in the sense that when I had spare money and thinking if I should spend or save it up. As long as it falls under these 10 items, I should give priority to spend on them :)

Anyway, if you also have things that you think I will enjoy in, please throw them in the comment so that I can get an idea of what I should be spending my money on :)
