A while ago we established a concept, that it doesn’t take you necessarily heaps of money to retire early in your lifetime. If you don’t have high demands, are happy to live a simple but fulfilled life in a low-cost-of-living country, plan ahead and have some savings which will provide you with passive income in the form of interest, rent, dividends it might be even possible that you can retire already in your 30s.

You can read many tips and tricks on this site on how to plan ahead and retire early to enjoy what life really has to offer. So if you seriously plan to retire early, is there a chance that you can totally f*ck it up? But of course!

Most people still believe that they are dependent on what Government pension plans or their previous company will provide for them when they are ready to retire. Or that they have to work until 65, 68 or even until they drop dead to the floor. That debt, cost of living and steady consumerism and expenses will never allow them to live a more relaxed life and enjoy their day - with whatever comes to their minds.

Do you belong to them?

One day a rich Westerner who had made sqillions from speculating on the stock market was strolling along the beach and saw the fisherman pulling in his boat with his meager catch.

The rich Westerner stopped and remarked “not much of a catch today”. The fisherman replied “yes not much” but explained that his small catch was enough for him and his family.

The rich Westerner asked, “But what do you do with the rest of your time?”

Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears. We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal and then leap in the dark to our success.

They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself. All change is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous, unpremeditated act without benefit of experience.

Technorati : change, leap in the dark, motivation, the dark

Things are not the same they used to be. There was a time you had Seers, Wise Men, Gurus or Oracles who could predict the future or at least give you some outlook and hints on how to live your life the righteous way.

Nowadays we have DIY guides for that. Guides for Dummies. Just check Amazon.com.

These days it seems, everyone is caught in a race of Consumerism, Materialism and a run after the big great lie - mammon.

Monday morning, 8am. Diiiiiiinnng! Is that your alarm? Wouldn’t it be nice to not having to go to work today? How about traveling in Guatemala, Mexico or Asia instead? Here is the news: You can! Just follow nomad4ever’s essential tips for self-sustainable permanent travel.
