Also, I think having a positive impact on others should be a goal. I can have all the comfort, financial freedom, and peace that I want, but if I trample on others to do it, that would not bring me happiness. I think it's important to make the world a better place. Though I suppose one could argue that I would not have peace if I was taking advantage of others!

I agree with the author. I would also add joy. The ability to find joy in the little things everyday is not easy because we focus on responsibilities which are no fun. Where people differ is on what those things look like in their lives and how they attain them.Marsha JJ wrote: ↑05 Nov 2022, 14:45 In Blue Collar Cash the author shares in the beginning of the book that "a life of comfort, peace, and financial freedom is the ultimate goal." Do you agree with the author that this should be one's ultimate goal, or would you substitute some other goals instead?

I agree with your addition Lindiwe. It is important to be able to find joy in the little things. However, I think having comfort, peace and financial freedom does allow space for that.Lindiwe Chakhala wrote: ↑09 Nov 2022, 08:00 I agree with the author. I would also add joy.

Although, I did like what Rusk said about the buckets and filling the 5th gallon with positivity. I feel this is also something that would allow us to find the joy in the little things as we have space for it.
