Our Little Secret

We don't live to work or even work to live.
No.  We work to save.
We are working towards a truly better future, one of financial independence.
Let's call it our little secret.  We think.  We plan.  We have patience and impulse control.

We work and save and wait for the day when we can begin to make the best use of our talents to shape the world around us instead of fitting ourselves into a picture that never looks quite right.
That day is swiftly approaching. 
It feels fantastic, like drinking in the afternoon, finding precise words, watching the sun rise on an early morning run or staying on top of the bike while the wheels keep spinning over that three foot rock.  

This secret is a tool, a gift to ourselves, a challenge, a weapon. 

We spend very little money because we have so much more than we will ever need and we realize that a person's wants are infinite.

Instead we channel this desire into personal development, personal relationships, civic progress, real life skills and athletic achievement.
These are valuables possessed of the owner that cannot be taken away.

Valuables possessed by the owner can be lost or stolen, catch fire, break, fall out of style, become boring or obsolete. 

This is our secret and this is our plan.

To save, to think, to spend wisely.
