Certainly. It's not for me or anyone else to tell you what a fulfilling life is, or to judge you for not having the same vision of one as me. I'm simply of the belief that it's something that not everyone thinks about enough. There is a pervasive fatalism in our society that gets people to believe that they aren't supposed to be happy, and that they need to settle; settle for a mate, for a job, an income, their lot. It's an incorrect narrative, but none of this is to say that you can't be happy in finance. It's a personal choice. But this: Says the poet with the ring tattoo! I would have pegged you for a risk taker, although I like the juxtaposition, I suppose.Just because I don't love it doesn't mean I should be blind to everything great about it. You know?
I'm not the sort to cash out my savings and ride into the sunset on a grand life-changing adventure, or to start a business out of nowhere in an attempt to change my life. I very much like to have plans, a little safety net, triple-checked bolts and all that.
1) Ring tattoo came about during a time in my life where I was definitely, certifiably not in the right place of mind to be making decisions, and predictably, the decisions I was making may have seemed irrational or, well, less than sane. And quite probably were. 2) Spontaneity every day, plans for the long-term. :)
