Today on the podcast we're going to be talking about the connection between your hobbies and having a rich life!
Do Your Hobbies Move You Closer to Financial Independence?
So today's topic – this connection between the hobbies you have and whether or not you're having a rich life – is fascinating to me.
It's kind of a continuation of this past Tuesday's episode where we were talking about breaking the switch with mindless spending.
Our focus there was making sure we were breaking that habit of unconsciously spending more and turning that into something more productive.
Moving from just consuming and start becoming a creator. One way we can make that transition is through our hobbies.
However, are there certain hobbies that can make a real difference with getting to financial independence faster and having a rich and fulfilling life?
In this episode, we'll get into:
- different hobbies between high earning and low earning households
- how your hobbies can help you on the path to financial independence
- aligning your hobbies to a richer life
Hope you enjoy!
