You are a Spectacular Single – enjoy it! You have the privilege of doing whatever you want with your money without answering to anyone. Deciding where each and every nickel goes is your prerogative. Allocating money falls into your wheelhouse, which means you get to decide how much for today and how much for tomorrow. You determine the dreams that are funded and the ones that are discarded. Who sets the priorities for your money? You do because you’re in control. There are never, ever fights with anyone about your money. This is a wondrous state of affairs.
Congratulations!
Yet… The fact remains that couples receive the bulk of personal finance advice. At best, it’s challenging to find stories and information that reflect the reality of those among us who need not consult with a significant other about how to spend a paycheque. At worse, the media completely omits information for the Spectacular Singles.
Fear not! Money advice can always be re-formatted to fit the circumstances of our goals, our ambitions, and our dreams. We don’t have to live in limbo unlesswe partner. There is no need to wait to buy houses, start retirement funds, travel the world, or do anything else our hearts’ desire. Our lives are not on hold until someone else comes all to complete us. We are complete as we are! And it is our responsibility to ourselves to make our dreams come true.
There are 3 basic steps. First, define your priorities. Second, devise a plan. Finally, deploy your money. Everything else is a detail.
This platform is about teaching Spectacular Singles about personal finance, early retirement, and financial freedom. I will do my very best to impart lessons, some insights, and a bit of wisdom. There’s no reason why you should have to wait for anything or anyone else before you start crafting the life that you truly desire.
