Welcome back guys! I’m a bit saddened this weekend. How come you ask? Well, MrsFrugalSamurai left yours truly yesterday. Nothing long-term (I hope), but she did travel to Europe on a work-trip. Poor her, all that culture and food and warm weather must be tough – hope she’ll be OK. But all good, she can have the warmth of the European sun, I’ve got the warmth of the legions of adoring fans. My friend Bugzy commented on the previous post on the “7 Thoughts to Approach FIRE” in his usual witty and happy-go-lucky manner (he’s a closet leprechaun). But you know, not all of us is blessed with the same green…

7 Thoughts on How to Approach FIRE (Part 1)
What’s up boys and girls! Hope everyone’s having a great week! Freezing our fingers and toes off here in Old Sydney Town, never realized Winter could be so cold (it can, that’s why it is called “Winter”). Following on from my previous post where I asked for questions from yourselves, there’s been quite a few responses (that’s a few more than I expected)! For those of you who sent them through, thank you for doing so – I’m going through them now and there’s plenty of great questions and topics to cover. However there’s a question from Bugzy about FIRE which really struck a nerve. Bugzy asks: “Dear Frugal My…

5 Things the World Cup Teaches About Life!
Waka waka eh eh!!! Tsamina mina zangalewa!!! This time for Africa!!! Shakira Shakira! “Takes headphones off”. Oh hello – it’s you again. Pardon me there, I got carried away – the World Cup is on you see. The four-yearly event has come around and landed in Russia, hands up if you’ve been watching it! MrsFrugalSamurai and I certainly have been – more the case of me forcing her to watch that is. “Come on babe! Egypt versus Uruguay!!!” “Uruguay… is that a fruit?” Blank expression. “N…no dear… it’s a country…” “In Europe?” Geographical ignorances aside (my apologies on her behalf to all our Uruguayan friends), the World Cup is THE…

Remembering the Why!
A tall, handsome figure walks across screen. The camera pans to the figure’s face – youthful and optimistic, the face breaks into a welcoming smile. Oh hello, it’s you again. Thanks for popping by. How are you? I hope you had a good day. Did you happen to catch the “State of Origin” last night? I certainly did, I missed the regular Wednesday blog schedule cos of it! (To the uninitiated, rugby league is a sport whereby 13 big, grown men proceed to sprint at 13 other big, grown men for 80 minutes pretending to carry an oval shaped ball past a marked line. These other big, grown men have…

Which 4 Main Paths Of Life Are You On – Consistent, Hard, Avant-Garde Or FIRE?
Oh wow Ladies and Gentlemen, What an epic drive that was. I knew Sydney traffic is bad but man oh man, is it ever so bad tonight. What is normally a 40 minute journey took an hour and 50 minutes. Mind you, I don’t mind the traffic – there’s always something to do in the car you see. Eating an early dinner, getting started on the night’s drinking, dirty sexting your partner, levelling up on Clash of Clans – so many things to occupy your time as you drive. Whilst I don’t mind partaking in the above, personally I prefer listening to podcasts and affirmations – it’s usually the only…
