Chapter 12: One Day

Married 9 months ago.

Didn’t take a honeymoon.

Too tired.

We said we’ll travel next year.

It is next year.

Still too tired.

Probably won’t enjoy it.

Maybe travel One Day.

Want to start a family.

Families are expensive.

Want to buy a house.

Houses are expensive.

Want to retire.

Retirements are expensive.

Maybe travel One Day.

Take the risk.

Touch down in Milan.

Pasta, pizza, wine.

Swim in the Ligurian Sea.

Pasta, pizza, wine.

Held up Pisa.

Pasta, pizza, wine.

Confession at the Vatican.

Pasta, pizza, wine.

Michelangelo, Michelangelo, Michelangelo.

Pasta, pizza, wine.

So expensive.

Goodbye tax return.

No regrets.

Concrete Step #11: Travel somewhere you’ve always dreamed of going.

If you can’t afford it now, save $100 a month to make it happen and do the math to see how many months (not years) it will take to make it happen.

I’m so glad we spent the money on this trip. Not only is it optimal timing now before we have kids, it’s an experiment to see what we enjoy.

This blog is about my journey to evade the white collar grim reaper (AI) and    (hopefully) make my millions. If Anna and I don’t take these opportunities to enjoy our life now, we’ll have no idea what we’re working towards.

Also, there are no guarantees in life, so if we’re putting off living for One Day, we risk never living if things don’t go as planned.
