Why are you on the Path to FI?
Why are you on the path to Financial Independence?
It has to be more than running away from a job you dislike or even hate.
You need to run towards something. Towards a life you can’t wait to live into.
You have to want something more than you want stuff.
The average American lifestyle just isn’t going to cut it. You’ll always be stressed financially, you’ll always be on that knife’s edge of financial insecurity.
As Jonathan would say, “you’re born to do more than pay bills and die.”
But FI doesn’t just happen, you must take intentional actions, day after day, year after year to get there.
So, as we start this 2026, I ask you to take 10 minutes and reflect on why you’re on the Path to FI and what your future FI life looks like.
Really feel into that and imagine living that life.
What are you going to do today to help make that life a reality?
That journey touches all areas of your life, but starts with something concrete and simple: Find one thing to cut or reduce out of your monthly budget this very month.
Small actions lead to big results, and no matter where you are on the Path to FI, you can make one change this month to get your financial life more optimized.
