I have been focusing on children since I started blogging. My thought is that I switch gear a little and talk about the people behind the parenting.
Many a time, we often neglect our spouse and focus on the children. I call it the fire fighting items. Things that are more demanding, shouting louder and crying harder . You know what I mean. Its so easy to ignore your partner.
Over the last year, our family has gone through a lot. They say the family is the stress cushion. That is true but still things were difficult. Even with 3 children under the age of 6 is already a challenge in itself. As it turns out, we decided that one of us will leave our full time job by the end of the year. We knew what we wanted. Financial freedom, time and quality of life. Then we realised that we’re not going to get there with our current jobs. No jobs will ever give us that. Here’s what we did…
1. Came up with a financial plan - Save up enough fat for one of us to leave and switch jobs
2. Look for alternative ways to earn money.
3. Learn up new skills - trading forex - which empowers us to earn money easily.
4. Change our mind set and focus just on the positives.
5. Look at various businesses which we can work from home.
These are not easy. Every single hour has been used up to either learn or organize the above. As the title says no pressure no diamond.
More importantly, make sure you don’t neglect your spouse. Find the time to talk through your plans and ideas at least once a week, this is a heart to heart talk. Find time to be intimate. Remember Love conquers all.
