Reading Time: 4 Minutes Hello everyone! A little something different for us all today. Recently I’ve started up a new interview series, whereby I’ll be profiling a number of high profile Aussie FIRE and personal finance bloggers. The thing with blogging is that it can get a bit lonely sometimes, what better way to cure this than to connect with other bloggers and showcase their talents too! Esther from The Happiness Investher First cab off the rank is Esther from The Happiness Investher. PLEASE check her out (not literally, the blog I mean).

The Game Changers
Reading Time: 2 Minutes Hey guys! Ya know, after what was the third or fourth mention of the new Netflix documentary “The Game Changers” this week – I decided my curiosity was sufficiently piqued to give it a watch. For those of us who are not aware of what it’s about, in short it is on… … plant-based diets. And what an eye-opener it was. At face value, the evidence of the vegan diet is very compelling, both from a health and an environmental standpoint. This is backed up by professional athletes at the top of their fields – a sprinter, olympic weightlifter, strongman, NFL linebacker among others – who…
