Money Tips Network

I had lunch with Sabino yesterday. He’s my accountant — but he’s also my friend (and a loyal Get Rich Slowly reader).

I told Sabino about how our house has been a money pit over the nine months since we bought it. I told him how much fun I’ve been having with Get Rich Slowly since I bought it back, and about how much work it has turned out to be to get the site renovated.

Sabino told me about his businesses (he doesn’t just own the accounting firm, but bits and pieces of several other companies too) and about his kids (who, to the surprise of both of us, are all teenagers now). He’s worked hard all of his life to give his family a solid future, and now — at age 48 — all of his dreams seem to be coming true.

I’ve shared Sabino’s story several times in the past. But for those who are unfamiliar, here’s a synopsis.

All his life, Paul Terhorst wanted to be rich. Even in grade school, he looked forward to having a corporate job, to joining the world of big business. “I didn’t just dream about money and power and expense account living — I planned for it.” He grew up and made it happen.

He got his MBA from Stanford. He became a certified public accountant and joined a large accounting firm. At age 30, he became a partner in the company. He had “a huge office, a leather chair, and a view of a polluted river”. He’d achieved everything he’d always dreamed about.

But at age 33, while on a business trip to Europe, he overhead two guys talking about a friend who had retired early. Terhorst was intrigued. “I began toying with the notion that if I could come up with a way to live off what I already had, I’d never have to work again.”

Forget Halloween — February 5, 2018 stands as the new scariest day. On that day, the Dow Jones industrial average (DJIA) plunged almost 1,600 points, marking its biggest point decline in history during a trading day.

The concept of self-care is growing in popularity, and for good reason. In an increasingly fast-paced world, it can be challenging to make time for yourself.

On one hand, practicing self-care can get expensive very quickly.

A spending freeze is a commitment to not spend money on anything that isn't necessary to your survival for a predetermined amount of time — usually a day, a week, or a month.
