Financial education is the path to financial freedom
Howdy, Only now do I feel that spring has come to Romania as well. Until recently, we regretted February, which was more springy than March. Today it was over 20 degrees in Bucharest and today, normally, I had a full day’s work. It’s Monday, perhaps the most hated of the 7 days of the week. Today at 15.00 I go for a walk in the park with my girlfriend. I really enjoyed a sunny Monday afternoon as I once dreamed, before I became financially independent, when I was still a corporate member, to be able to go out for a coffee on a Monday or Tuesday afternoon, without worrying about the clock. Coincidentally, today I was a little worried about the clock because from 19.00 I had a webinar to present. But that didn’t bother me at all. I set my day and time in advance, the topic I had to present. It was my choice to put on the webinar on Monday at 7 p.m. Today was no exception, it is a way of life. The option to take my free afternoons whenever I want, or free weeks or even, during the summer, free months — this is the real wealth. It’s so sweet that I don’t have time to get a new fit car or expensive watches or other things to show off my wealth. I don’t have time because I’m too busy living the real wealth I have: the freedom to live the way I want, to live my love affair, to enjoy my vacation. I never get tired of these and I can’t imagine how anyone else would choose not to do everything humanly possible to live their freedom.

Urban Vegetation
New owners purchased the property where I've lived for over 17 years. They call themselves re-branding the place, so they gave it a new name with Gardens in it. To match the name they tried to spruce up the tiny flower beds in the front of each ground floor unit. This was welcomed but the flower beds quickly died, they refused to take care of them.

Thinking about an American Rennaisance
I do not deny that I am a big fan of money. I do not deny that I have envied those who made or saved or inherited more money than me. I do not deny that I think money is the safest form of power that humans can trade with. Money gets a bad rap most of the time. Even religious fanatics have put down money at some point when their faith was tested or they were at some spiritual crossroad. Some vagabonds don't hold on to their identity or association with money. They will wander freely like no-name beggars and they prefer that lifestyle. I never wanted to be anyone but me fully knowing that I am born from money and was raised with all the notions of a society of economy. I watched many westerns where the cowboys and indians would fight for land or women in some terratorial battle. I've seen films and shows that have depicted the theme of "this town's not big enough for the both of us" or some John Wayne type Sherrif taking over and kicking out the trouble-makers. These are not just silly movies to me. They represent American civilization in symbolic and spiritual ways and they have touched my soul furthering my belief that a money-less civilization is not one that I comprehend.

Why You Should Blog
By far the most compelling argument in favor of starting a blog is that it gives its owner with an endless supply of opportunities. Blogging makes your professional identity visible to the world and helps you stand out in a unique way. Increased friendship, financial gain, and personal development are all advantages of blogging.

My 1 Shortcut to Thriving That Feels Like Cheating
Among the chirping crickets, filibustering frogs, and whistling winds, a sound, equal parts cacophony and harmony. Beautiful. Perfect, even. Why then, was I uneased? I took off my headphones, returning to absolute silence, save for the electric whirring of my computer and my analog breath.

The Challenges a UX Designer Faces
As a UX designer, you will face many challenges in your work. One of the biggest challenges is keeping up with the latest trends. Technology changes so rapidly that it can be challenging to keep up with the latest design trends. You also need to be able to think creatively to come up with innovative solutions to user problems. Another challenge is managing client expectations. Clients may have unrealistic expectations about what you can deliver or how long it will take to complete a project. Setting realistic expectations from the beginning and managing client expectations throughout the project is essential.
