It is time to re-establish my long term goals. The main one for me, which has been in play for a number of years, is the massive paying down of house debt to enable me to do a period of travel. It has not been easy to compromise short term fun for medium term freedom. The short term fun over the past few months has included various holiday and biking toys, clothing, yummy cheese and beer. The music system at home got upgraded and I've been playing with Spotify Premiums music offerings.
But - it all had its cost. The Visa is carrying a balance that will require abit of shuffling to work. I spend way too much time googling optimal problem solving solutions including wifi router upgrades, chromecast, sleeping bag quilts for bikepacking, and european-style couches.
I'm taking a deep breath as I don't need those things right now. There is an opportunity cost to short term fun, and while I'm definitely not opposed to it, the Want-Monster* must be put on a leash.
I'm picking up the jade coloured marble from the grass as this marble will give me freedom. It is the one that matters.
