Compound interest is defined as the eighth wonder in my opinion!
As you rightly say, however, it can be applied both positively with majestic results if you have the patience and a good plan, but also negatively and you made me think a lot about this, I confess that I had never dwelt on it in depth.
The results I seek are of various kinds; mainly I want to grow and improve because for me it is essential to be a better person every day.
As far as my investments are concerned, I'm trying to create financial freedom, I have a plan, goals and many small steps to take one after the other... trips are made by putting one foot in front of the other and repeating, no ?
I'm just going to stop for a moment on the subject of financial freedom, for me it doesn't mean not working; I just want to free up my time and create economic serenity, more than for me for my family; having done this probably as long as I enjoy it and it's convenient for me I will also continue in my work.
I think this is natural - who wants to dwell on their own flaws?
Yep. On a related but separate note, I feel a lot of the entertainment we are fed is built to trigger the feeling we are stepping, even though we are getting nowhere.
Work can bring meaning - it is just when we "have to work" that we feel oppressed by it.
Well yes indeed yes, even if I often stop to reflect on my defects and how to improve them, of course then between saying and doing there is a sea in the middle eh eh!
Behold You have enlightened me again with Your words; if I had to tell you what I'm looking for it's just to eliminate that word "duty", I would like to choose, if I work because I feel like it is one thing but, when I no longer feel like it and I don't like my job I would like to be able to say enough without having to give account to no one ... that time will come, you'll see!😉
The sea in the middle can be very wide - maybe even an ocean :)
I also think that there is the potential that jobs that might be bad when we are forced to do them, aren't that bad when we could leave if we wanted too :)
