- see overpaying as 'buying our freedom', something we visualise and vocalise very often: we talk about life without a mortgage in visual terms, painting a picture of living without daily commutes, mindless meetings, unrealistic deadlines, increasing workloads, and nonstop pressure you can never switch off from, even on weekends or holidays. Without a mortgage we can choose to work elsewhere, 2 days a week if we please
Working to sustain a style of living means nothing if you don't enable freedom of choice.Your life is too short to be unhappy 5 days a week in exchange for 2 days of freedom!0 -
